It's worth mentioning that Ubisoft has put out a survey before, asking for input on possible locations, and one of those was an environment-survival game based in Alaska. In other words, alongside fighting against the primary antagonist in the region, the harsh climate of Alaska would be a common factor. With its low population, variety of regions such as its Denali Mountain and Aleutian Islands, and economy based on fishing, natural gas, and oil, there's a lot of potential story angles for Far Cry

It's worth mentioning that Ubisoft's 2020-2021 fiscal year is one of the most packed release years for Ubisoft in recent history, in terms of AAA games.

It's a stark contrast from last fiscal year, where Ubisoft had its lightest release slate in recent years with only three AAA games.

There's a high-demand for games set in Japan. Whether it's set in the age of the Samurai or the modern Yakuza, there's plenty of room for exploration.
