The Big Picture Ubisoft has some depressing news about one of their much-anticipated projects, the Driver TV series, but it appears that there may still be hope for the franchise. Almost three years have passed since the gaming company announced that a live-action production in the Driver franchise would come to the popular Binge streaming platform; unfortunately, that will not be moving forward anymore as they have canceled it.
Speaking to Game File, Ubisoft confirmed the news but maintained their plans to keep working on projects related to the racing series. A rep for the company shared, "We are no longer moving forward with our partnership with Binge for a Driver series. We are actively working on other exciting projects related to the franchise and can’t wait to share more information in the future.
While fans wait for further updates, they may recall that it’s been about ten years since there was any news about the Driver franchise, with the release of the free-to-play smartphone game Driver: Speedboat Paradise, released on iOS and Android in December 2014. But before then, the Nintendo 3DS game Driver: Renegade 3D launched in September 2011 alongside the fifth installment in the game franchise, Driver: San Francisco.
Another Live-Action Adaptation From Ubisoft Is In Production One more video game from Ubisoft, which received a live-action adaptation not long ago and gave fans the best update earlier this month, is the well-received Watch Dogs. The project is currently in production, much to fans' delight; however, the announcement at the time failed to reveal who would be featured. Nevertheless, reports suggest that Sophie Wilde and Tom Blythe will appear in the production.
Stay tuned to Collider for further updates surrounding Ubisoft's upcoming projects related to the Driver racing series.
