On the flip side, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint 's struggling state may have strongly affected Ubisoft's core franchises in big ways. Breakpoint received plenty of criticisms for microtransactions , repetitive gameplay, and several other issues. If critical gameplay adjustments need to be made to Ubisoft's other franchises as a result, it's possible Far Cry 6 could receive a circumstantial delay. No doubt it would be a difficult decisions, but Ubisoft would likely be hesitant to delay Watch Dogs or Rainbow Six any further than the publisher already has. So, considering Far Cry 6 hasn't even been announced, development may need to be slowed down or halted to divert resources to more pressing franchi
Pair that with the already announced Watch Dogs: Legion , Gods and Monsters , and Rainbow Six: Quarantine , the publisher has a lot on the horizon for 2020 and 2021. Early reports stated that Ubisoft would have five of its AAA franchises release during the 2020-2021 fiscal year, and considering four have already been announced, it should be safe to say Far Cry 6 is up n
Recent Far Cry games have been masterful in weaving the series' signature insanity into the narrative to make characters and the story more intimidating or exciting. But gameplay elements in recent entries have just felt like good shooters, not necessarily an insane experience. Obviously adding more "insanity" to the gameplay would need to be handled with some nuance, considering gun durability and the high enemy encounter rate in Far Cry 2 saw plenty of complaints. That said, adding elements of unpredictability that influences player vulnerability could help to mix up the gameplay and provide more of a challenge. Games like Breath of the Wild incorporated vulnerable gameplay mechanics in interesting ways, so Far Cry 6 could easily do something simi
While the set-up to the game and opening few hours are fantastic, the title begins unraveling the more you play. Without going too much into story spoilers, there just wasn't enough time dedicated to the script or the enemies to bring anyone to life. The game has its significant emotional moments, acts of betrayal, and tragic deaths that try to draw an emotional gut punch. However, as you only ever deal with the major characters of the game a handful of times within the short 22-mission story arc, none of those emotional moments ever feel earned. I can't be bothered to care about someone who I've spoken with tw
Among other rumors and leaks, the next game in the off-kilter shooter franchise has been confirmed to be in development from leakers and big name media who've been correct before. It's been a few years since a proper Far Cry sequel has come out, so it wouldn't be too far-fetched to expect a new entry coming soon. Ubisoft Forward would be the perfect opportunity to unveil or tease the game, especially if it's going to be due next Spring like us
Ubisoft has had a tough year, but pretty soon the publisher will be mounting a presumably huge comeback. Already there's been several triple-A projects confirmed by Ubisoft for release during the 2020 fiscal year, notwithstanding any social distancing development concerns. With Ubisoft Forward happening in just a few weeks, the publisher will likely showcase every new and existing project headed for release any time between this Fall to next Spring. One of those is more than likely going to be the next Far Cry g
Obviously that would be conjecture if it weren't for the many rumors and leaks that back this up. Most notably, back when Ubisoft confirmed five triple-A titles were releasing during the 2020-2021 fiscal year, all but one of these games have been officially revealed. So far, Assassin's Creed Valhalla , Watch Dogs: Legion , Rainbow Six Quarantine , and Gods & Monsters have been unveiled. Many reports since then have stated that Far Cry 6 is the fifth triple-A title coming from Ubisoft this fiscal year. Several other rumors and leaks have corroborated this as well, among other unconfirmed gameplay deta
That's not to say that the Battlefield franchise hasn't had "interesting" locations—France, Italy, the Gallipolli Peninsula, Norway, just to name a few and far more. However, even when accentuated with Battlefield 's trademark capabilities of destruction , these areas don't really come to life. They simply serve as a historical backdrop for a short story, a far cry from...well, Far Cry . Of course, there's two things that need to be addressed in this comparison: genre and environmental storytell
As for what to expect, it's tough to say. There's very little known about the next Far Cry that isn't just a rumor or corroborated with another source. Most of the "leaks" just allege that Far Cry 6 certainly exists in some capacity, which may be true but that's a little more than obvious at this point. Each gameplay/story leak alleges something completely different, ranging from a sequel to Far Cry 3 with Vaas as a returning character to the return of a tropical setting and helping zoos with jetpacks and "Narcos" inspired elements . In case the second part of that sentence wasn't enough, it's also important to note that there's little to no backing/evidence for any of these leaks. Some early leaks for a North Korea setting were bolstered by a Far Cry 6 Guide|Https://Farcry6Zone.Com/ Cry /Ubisoft fan survey, but that was not conclusive by any me
