We thank Dan for his many contributions over the years and wish him all the best for the future.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Ubisoft says that for now, the Far Cry team will be led by Sandra Warren in Montreal alongside other producers and directors. As noted by <em>VGC<\/em>, Hay was most hands-on with the Far Cry series in Far Cry 5, where he served as the creative director. However, he was a producer for Far Cry 3, 4,\u00a0Blood Dragon, Primal, and New Dawn. He leaves tomorrow as an executive producer for the Far Cry franchise.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that Ubisoft is currently reportedly undergoing an internal change in light of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/07\/07\/new-report-reveals-many-ubisoft-employees-unhappy-with-how-leadership-handled-me-too\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report that revealed mistreatment at studios and an \u201cunhappy\u201d response<\/a> with how leadership handled the game industry&#8217;s\u00a0#MeToo movement in the Summer of 2020. There\u2019s no indication that Hay\u2019s departure is connected to that, however, and reports on conditions inside Ubisoft have not named Hay as a problematic executive within the company.<\/p>\n<p>For more about Far Cry, check out our thoughts on the latest entry with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/far-cry-6\/far-cry-6-review-the-spark-that-ignites-the-fire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Game Informer<\/em>\u2019s Far Cry 6 review<\/a>.
