After the release, Crytek stopped working with Ubisoft and signed a deal in July 2004 to make a gaming franchise with another publisher called Electronic Arts, which became the "Crysis" franchise. In March 2006, Ubisoft got the legal rights to the "Far Cry" series and a license for the CryEngine version used in the making of "Far Cry". Ubisoft Montreal became the main studio for making all future "Far Cry" games.
