Ubisoft is reportedly testing generative AI tools in an early build of the unannounced Far Cry 7. Industry leaker Tom Henderson shared details about this internal development before removing his original post from X. He described the current state of the artificial intelligence content as poor, though he clarified that these experiments are strictly for research and development purposes.

The publisher is using this early game build to evaluate new AI capabilities without any guarantee that the technology will reach the final release. Henderson noted that fans should not expect generative AI elements to appear in the finished product based on these initial tests.
This testing initiative occurs alongside significant financial challenges for the company, which reported a record operating loss of 1.3 billion euros for the fiscal year ending in 2026. Ubisoft is simultaneously investing heavily in artificial intelligence projects despite these economic headwinds and recent workforce reductions.
A major internal experiment called Teammates utilizes Google Gemini to create conversational non-player characters that can remember player interactions. The La Forge division leads this project, which aims to build dynamic companions capable of real-time responses during gameplay sessions.
