Despite the cancellation of the planned live-action Driver TV series, Ubisoft assures fans that other Driver franchise projects are underway. Let's delve into Ubisoft's recent announcement.
Ubisoft Remains Committed to the Driver Franchise
Ubisoft has officially confirmed to Game File the cancellation of its live-action Driver adaptation. Initially announced in 2021 for exclusive streaming on Binge.com, the project aimed to bring the popular racing game franchise to life. As stated by Ubisoft Film & Television head Danielle Kreinik, this was part of Ubisoft's broader strategy "to bring our games to life in new and exciting ways."
However, the collaboration ended due to the closure of Hotrod Tanner LLC, a movie-related subsidiary, in January. A Ubisoft spokesperson confirmed to Game File, "We are no longer moving forward with our partnership with Binge for a Driver series."
The good news for Driver enthusiasts is that Ubisoft remains actively developing other projects within the franchise. While specifics remain undisclosed, Ubisoft promises exciting future announcements. Stay tuned for further updates on the Driver franchise's next steps!
