5 things we know about Far Cry 6 so far UbisoftUbisoft\u2019s Far Cry 6 has certainly got fans of the franchise extremely excited to jump into the game\u2019s world. Here are five important things we know so far. Since the announcement of Far Cry 6 back at Ubisoft Forward in 2020, fans of the series have been desperate to their hands on the title and explore the game\u2019s tropical world. However, a delay back in October scrapped the game\u2019s initial release date of February 18 and has left fans waiting for a confirmed launch date. In the meantime, we thought it would be appropriate to reflect on five significant things we know about the title so far and check out what fans can look forward to when Far Cry 6 finally arrives. 1. Yara, a return to a tropical setting For Far Cry 6, Ubisoft has listened to the fans and brought the franchise back to a tropical setting in the form of Yara. This Cuban-inspired nation is located in the heart of the Caribbean and features Far Cry\u2019s first-ever fully-urban location, Esperanza. Despite Yara\u2019s idyllic tropical landscape, \u201cdecades of economic sanctions have devastated the nation, leaving it impoverished and divided.\u201d Yara is a land filled with citizens wanting to take a stand and form a revolution, that\u2019s where we as the players fit into the story. 2. Step into the shoes of Dani Rojas In Far Cry 6, players will follow the story of Dani Rojas, a citizen of Yara who grew up in the conflict-ridden nation. Dani can be played as either a man or a woman, which we assume will be chosen by players at the start of the game. Ubisoft has made it very clear they wanted this revolution story to feel authentic and powerful, so Dani had to be someone who grew up in Yara. \u201cWe knew that if we\u2019re going to tell the revolution story if we\u2019re going to tell a story about someone in a guerilla movement, you need to have that personal connection with them.\u201d This connection will no doubt be key in getting players invested in the game\u2019s narrative, which from what we\u2019ve seen so far, looks to be great. 3. A ruthless dictator at the helm If there\u2019s one thing Ubisoft does well, it\u2019s adding to the franchise\u2019s array of incredible villains. The main antagonist of Far Cry 6 is the dictator Anton Castillo, played by Giancarlo Esposito. Some of Esposito\u2019s biggest roles included Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, Gus Fring in Breaking Bad, and the list could go on. By the looks of it, Castillo looks to be an intriguing villain who is willing to do anything to return to the past and restore Yara to its former glory once seen under his father. Unfortunately, that glory doesn\u2019t include anyone that isn\u2019t willing to obey and follow his way of thinking. It also appears Castillo\u2019s relationship with his son Diego will play an important role in the plot and be the primary focus of the narrative at points. It will be interesting to see how the game switches between perspectives and tells both sides of that dynamic. 4. More verticality in the map design Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of Far Cry 6 is the new direction the developers are taking with the game\u2019s environment. As Esperanza will be the first main urban location available to explore in the franchise, it\u2019s given the devs the chance to design the map a little differently. This includes elements such as verticality that haven\u2019t been seen in previous titles. So, prepare to be able to explore a variety of interesting buildings and rooftops. Just be careful not to slip. 5. There\u2019s a dog called Chorizo Of course, we had to save the most important aspect of the game until last. That being Chorizo, the sausage dog. With the Amigos for Hire system returning from Far Cry 5, players will be able to hire AI friends to fight alongside them. One of these recruits is called Chorizo, a dog with a custom-built wheelchair. Graphics are all well and good, but if you can\u2019t interact with a dog, what\u2019s the point? Hopefully, these five features will give you a flavor of what\u2019s coming with Far Cry 6 from everything we know about so far. Of course, it\u2019s likely a lot more information will come out on the game in the near future so keep an eye on our dedicated Far Cry 6 hub for all the latest news and leaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
