Ubisoft Confirms More “Driver” Projects After Cancelation of Show Adaptation

Despite the cancellation of the live-action Driver TV series, Ubisoft confirms that other Driver franchise projects are underway. Let's delve into Ubisoft's recent announcement.

Ubisoft Remains Active on Future Driver Projects

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 game 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 film-related subsidiary (named after 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."

However, Ubisoft assures Driver fans that development continues. They are "actively working on other exciting projects related to the franchise" and promise future announcements. Specific details remain undisclosed, but further updates are anticipated. Stay tuned for more news on the Driver franchise!
