Far Cry 6 - Everything We Know About Ubisoft's Open World Shooter-October 2024

Oct 19, 2024 1:26 AM

　　The Far Cry series has been one of Ubisoft's most defining open-world action-adventure franchises, focusing on exploration and fighting hostile forces in exotic locales. In Far Cry 6, the franchise heads to a new location known as Yara, loosely based on the island and history of Cuba. Set during a political and social revolution, Yara's citizens begin their campaign to overthrow the cruel dictator Presidente Castillo (played by Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian actor Giancarlo Esposito).

　　Though previous entries in the Far Cry series have had some loose connections, Far Cry 6 is an entirely standalone game that doesn't have many ties to the previous games. This is likely for the best, considering Far Cry 5 and its spin-off New Dawn unexpectedly brought the series into a post-apocalyptic setting.

　　Now Playing: Far Cry 6 Is A Game Of Contrasts | Play For All 2021

　　According to narrative director Navid Khavari, Far Cry 6 will be a political game. In a post on the official Ubisoft website, Khavari said that a "story about a modern revolution" has to be political and that Far Cry 6 will contain discussions on topics like fascism, imperialism, forced labor, LGBTQ+ rights, and free elections. He clarified, however, that all this will be in the context of the fictional Yara nation rather than a real country, such as Cuba--which is, as mentioned, what inspired the game's setting.

Multiplayer Details

Like previous games in the series, Far Cry 6 will have co-op play, allowing players to join up and explore the world together. While the developers haven't spoken to the exact scope of the next game's co-op component, we do know that it is similar to previous games. In co-op, you and your friends can take on side-missions and in-world activities, but story missions are left as solo-only engagements.

DLC/Microtransaction Details

While Ubisoft has confirmed that Far Cry 6 will have a season pass for post-launch content, no details have been shared just yet about what to expect. We anticipate that once we get closer to release, we'll see more of the developer's plans for what we can expect from the game following its launch.

Preorder Details

Right now, you can preorder Far Cry 6 on Amazon or through Ubisoft's online store. In standard fashion with the publisher, there are multiple versions of Far Cry 6 to preorder, including the Standard Edition, the Gold Edition, the Ultimate Edition, and the Collector's Edition--the latter of which adds in maps, stickers, and a model replica of the game's flamethrower.
