Ubisoft has revealed that multiple projects related to the Driver series are currently in development, exciting news for fans who have been awaiting a new mainline Driver game for over a decade.
The last major entry in the series, Driver: San Francisco, was released in September 2011 alongside the 3DS spin-off Driver: Renegade 3D. Since then, the franchise has seen only one additional title, the free-to-play mobile game Driver: Speedboat Paradise, which launched in December 2014 but was later removed from mobile storefronts. This led many fans to consider Driver one of Ubisoft's abandoned franchises.
However, Ubisoft has not forgotten the series. Speaking to Game File's Stephen Totilo, a company representative stated that they are "actively working on other exciting projects" based on the classic franchise. While this news has sparked hope for a new Driver game, Ubisoft's statement was carefully worded to avoid confirming any specifics.

It appears that at least one of these projects is not a game, reflecting Ubisoft's history of using the Driver IP for non-gaming endeavors. The most recent attempt was a live-action Driver series announced in 2021, to be produced in partnership with the streaming service Binge. Initially planned to launch in 2022, Binge has yet to materialize, and Ubisoft has since decided to drop the live-action Driver adaptation, according to Totilo.
This decision is believed to have been made by January 2024, coinciding with Ubisoft's dissolution of Hotrod Tanner LLC, a U.S. video production subsidiary named after the Driver series protagonist, detective John Tanner. This closure was confirmed in Ubisoft's Universal Registration Document published in late June 2024.
Years before the TV show attempt, Ubisoft also tried to develop a live-action Driver film with Impact Pictures, which had allocated a $48 million budget. However, a 2007 waterfront revitalization project in Toronto, where filming was to take place, indefinitely postponed the project, leading to its eventual abandonment.
The last major entry in the series, Driver: San Francisco, was released in September 2011 alongside the 3DS spin-off Driver: Renegade 3D.
