Despite the cancellation of the planned live-action Driver TV series, Ubisoft assures fans that other Driver franchise projects are currently under development. 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 the live-action Driver series. Initially announced in 2021 for exclusive streaming on Binge.com, the project aimed to bring the popular racing game franchise to life. Ubisoft Film & Television head Danielle Kreinik previously stated this was part of Ubisoft's broader strategy to "bring our games to life in new and exciting ways."
However, the partnership dissolved due to the closure of Hotrod Tanner LLC, a movie-related subsidiary of Ubisoft (and namesake of the Driver protagonist), 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? Ubisoft has confirmed that they are "actively working on other exciting projects related to the franchise" and are eager to share details at a later date. While specifics remain undisclosed, fans can expect further Driver-related announcements in the future. Stay tuned for updates!
