While the live-action "Driver" series has been canceled, Ubisoft assures fans that the franchise isn't dead. The company confirmed with Game File that the planned adaptation, initially slated for exclusive streaming on Binge.com, won't proceed due to the closure of Hotrod Tanner LLC, a movie-related subsidiary. This follows a 2021 announcement showcasing Ubisoft's ambition to expand its gaming universe into new media.
Despite this setback, Ubisoft emphasized its continued commitment to the "Driver" franchise, stating they are "actively working on other exciting projects." While specifics remain undisclosed, the company promises future announcements regarding these new endeavors. This news should reassure fans anticipating further developments within the "Driver" universe.
Stay tuned for further updates on what Ubisoft has planned for the future of the popular racing game franchise.
