Overall, it seems Ubisoft has been casting a wide net to determine where the Far Cry franchise could go next. That being said, the next entry may be coming within the next year, as late as spring of 2021 according to Ubisoft's fiscal year release schedule. Far Cry 6 may even be a potential sequel or set in the same universe as Far Cry 3 assuming Michael Mando is being more coy than playful. Or the game may go even further outside the box than usual and explore something completely new. Summer's gaming events should give us some more concrete i
Jason is just a frustrating whiny character, and Arjay is just... well he has no character. Ubisoft even went as far as making a silent protagonist in Far Cry 5 , which completely took us out of the story. If they can nail the tone right for Far Cry 6 , they should also have a main character with an actual personal
Seed created a legacy, put his family first, and had conviction in his beliefs (that turned out to be right). This idea that his insanity was actually based in something took Seed to a new level, leading fans to be happy with his surprising return in New Dawn . This added a new layer to the character, perhaps giving him more depth than others, and is something Ubisoft should replicate. The antagonists of New Dawn , Mickey and Lou, were the opposite though. They really had no depth and committed evil for evil's sake; in other words, the Far Cry 6 villain should take more after Joseph Seed than Mickey and Lou, replicating success and learning from mista
Obviously there's other examples like Ghost Recon or Just Dance that are powerhouse franchises for Ubisoft, but they're unlikely to take their place. Additionally, Jason Schreier from Kotaku chimed in to confirm that fifth game was not Beyond Good & Evil 2 or Skull & Bones . Schreier cited some development troubles for Skull Bones delaying the game severely, as well as Beyond Good & Evil 2 still not being far enough in developm
I likely spent about 20 hours in the game, and I would reckon that only 4 or 5 of those were in substantive story missions. Outside of that, most the game consisted of me doing Far Cry stuff: picking off enemies, building out an arsenal, and generally exploring the beautiful nuclear-tinted wasteland of Hope County. If you find yourself a fan of the Far Cry formula and are looking for a cathartic experience to sink your teeth into, this will certainly scratch that i
Despite the middling score, I hope Far Cry New Dawn indicates and speaks to the future of the Far Cry series. Every risk and change that Ubisoft brought to New Dawn pays off in dividends and is a boon to the series. And though the RPG progression and world-building is a smart pivot, it's no substitution for meek and half-hearted narratives -- even when it comes at a value retail price out the g
While the mechanics and game design of the game do feel notably better than previous titles, that doesn't extend to the actual level design. Though there are missions of Far Cry New Dawn that work to break the mold, most stages (story or side-quests) are simply shooting galleries or puzzle-solving bunker missions. Far Cry 5 injected far more personality into their missions and is going to feel far more memorable because of it. Lest we forget the Testy Festy mission that may perhaps define both the quirkiness and character of the series. There is no equivalent in New Da
Recently, Ubisoft revealed that it would be releasing 5 triple-A games by March 2021, with three of those being previously delayed games like Watch Dogs Legion and the other two remaining unconfirmed by the publisher. However, rumors and leaks point to these games being Assassin's Creed Ragnarok and Far Cry 6 collectibles|https://farcry6zone.com/ Cry
Of course that would be conjecture if it weren't for Jason Schreier, formerly of Kotaku, stating that Far Cry was among the Ubisoft's release slate for this year. There were plenty of Far Cry 6 rumors flying around the internet prior to Schreier's comments on Twitter, but his voice carries plenty of weight throughout the game industry. Considering he was right about Assassin's Creed Valhalla being one of the five aforementioned AAA games eventually revealed and its viking theme, Far Cry is likely on the way as w
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
Ubisoft has been criticized in the past for having some pretty dumb AI in both the Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed series. Far Cry 6 needs to have smarter AI that is absolutely relentless in combat and stealth. One thing that takes immersion away is how enemies will only go for the alarm when they catch you, even if they know you’ve killed so many of their friends already. If they spot a dead body, they should immediately go for the alarm. In addition to this, the AI should adapt to the player’s actions and strategies. If they keep swarming the same spot and you’re mowing them down, perhaps they would eventually realize they need a new appro
