The accidental reveal of the TV show was done by none other than Ubisoft itself, which posted a news article about the show on its own website over the weekend. The post was quickly removed, but not before it was noticed by Redditors who shared it to the /r/Far Cry subreddit. The post has since been removed from the Far Cry subreddit, but not before publications captured its details. According to Eurogamer, the new TV show will be an "anthology drama" where "each season will be set in a new world with a different cast of characters."

According to the report, the show is being produced by Noah Hawley, the creator of the Fargo series for FX, as well as Alien: Earth, a new show that released just this week. Additionally, the Far Cry TV show is being co-executive produced and will star Rob McElhenney of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It should be noted that Ubisoft has been known to be working on numerous alternative media adaptations of its IP that haven't yet, and perhaps never will see the light of day.

For example, there's work being done on an Assassin's Creed TV series, a Beyond Good & Evil animated film, a live-action movie based on Tom Clancy's The Division, a Watch Dogs movie, a Rabbids film, a Splinter Cell series, and a Skull & Bones TV show. It's unclear if the Far Cry series will be added to the list of other Ubisoft media caught in production limbo, or if this one will be fast-tracked to the front of the pack.
