Despite the cancellation of the planned live-action Driver TV series, Ubisoft confirms continued development of other Driver franchise projects. Let's delve into the details of Ubisoft's recent announcement.
Ubisoft Remains Active in Driver Franchise Development
Ubisoft has officially confirmed to Game File the cancellation of its live-action Driver TV series adaptation. Initially announced in 2021 for exclusive streaming on Binge.com, the project was part of Ubisoft's broader initiative to expand its gaming franchises into new media. As stated by Ubisoft Film & Television head Danielle Kreinik, the goal was "to bring our games to life in new and exciting ways and create content set in the world, culture, and community of gaming."
The collaboration ended due to the closure of Hotrod Tanner LLC, a Ubisoft film subsidiary named after the Driver protagonist, in January of this year. A Ubisoft spokesperson confirmed to Game File, "We are no longer moving forward with our partnership with Binge for a Driver series."
However, Ubisoft assures Driver fans that development continues. The company states it is "actively working on other exciting projects related to the franchise" and looks forward to future announcements. While specifics remain undisclosed, stay tuned for further updates on the future of the Driver franchise!
