Ubisoft has confirmed that it is actively working on multiple projects related to the Driver franchise, offering hope to fans of the long-dormant racing series. The last mainline entry in the series, Driver: San Francisco, was released in 2011, leaving a significant gap in the franchise's history.
While the series has seen some limited activity with the mobile game Driver: Speedboat Paradise, the core Driver experience has been absent from the gaming landscape for over a decade. This extended hiatus led many to believe that the franchise had been abandoned by Ubisoft.
However, the recent confirmation of new Driver projects suggests that the publisher has not forgotten about the series. While Ubisoft has not explicitly confirmed a new mainline game, the statement hints at the possibility of future Driver titles.
It's worth noting that Ubisoft has previously explored non-gaming avenues for the Driver franchise, including a planned live-action series. However, this project has been dropped, with the company focusing its efforts on game development. The news of multiple Driver projects in development is undoubtedly exciting for fans of the series, who have eagerly awaited a return to the iconic open-world racing experience.
