And that's really a shame, because in so many ways Far Cry New Dawn is a better experience than any Far Cry game that came before it. I mentioned it within our preview of the game , but the title's pivot to more RPG elements drive home the experience. Being able to upgrade the base in a way that substantially improves weapon quality and variety drives both motivation and purpose in what you do--as you liberate outposts and save allies, you feel like you are making an impact in the game (regardless of the sto
Now the question remains: can this leak be trusted? Like any leak that comes from 4chan, we advise those looking forward to a possible Far Cry 6 to take this information with a massive grain of salt. However, since accurate leaks have come from the site in the past, including leaks about Ubisoft titles, it shouldn't be disregarded entir
Until we get an official confirmation from Ubisoft, it's hard to gauge what to expect from the next Far Cry game. At the very least we know that the project exists from outside sources, so the anticipation is certainly there. Incorporating elements from one of the more divisive Far Cry games so far could serve to aid the next game in the ser
According to the leaker, who we must stress provided no evidence to back their claims, development on Far Cry 6 is being supported by Ubisoft Reflections, which is also working on the recently-revealed Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Skull and Bones . Ubisoft Berlin, meanwhile, is working on a different Far Cry game, suggested to be an online multiplayer spinoff of some k
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 6 Missions|Https://Farcry6Zone.Com/ 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
Perhaps the most interesting rumor thus far comes from a Reddit AMA with the franchise's most iconic villain. Earlier in April, Vaas actor Michael Mando was answering fan questions regarding both Far Cry 3 as well as his role in AMC's Better Call Saul as Nacho Varga . One of the questions asked of Mando was "Do you still get recognized as Vaas or do more people see you as Nacho now?" Mando responded in general his love for the character Vaas that he co-created during Far Cry 3 's development, but also went on to mention that he may be able to reprise the role "very soon," seemingly as a j
This leak comes from 4chan, and so it should be treated with a healthy amount of skepticism. Even so, accurate video game leaks have originated from 4chan in the past, and so it's not out of the realm of possibility that this one is legitimate. At any rate, the anonymous poster posted in a thread about a potential new Splinter Cell game with a list of Ubisoft's studios and what projects they're working on, with Far Cry 6 allegedly in the works at Ubisoft Toro
Ubisoft once perfect the open world action-adventure formula with its past games, namely by focusing on an interesting and eccentric villain to push it forward. An attempt at this can be seen in every game, although arguably, none are able to live up to Far Cry 3 's Vaas Montenegro. Far Cry 4 's Pagan Min and Far Cry 5 's Joseph Seed are still good sources from which Far Cry 6 can learn, but aside from Vaas, perhaps Ubisoft should look closely at Seed and New Dawn 's Mickey and L
A nameless, faceless, voiceless protagonist once again feels like a significant backstep. While it is fun to make a bald, bearded Lou Contaldi to liberate Hope County, I think it is a decision that naturally leads to most games feeling narratively half-baked. When I'm unable to interact with the characters outside of receiving direction, I end up feeling like a backseat passenger (who happens to be doing all the wo
Far Cry 5 is one of Ubisoft's best-selling games , and that fact combined with the general popularity of the Far Cry franchise means it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Far Cry 6 is a virtual guarantee, and at the rate Ubisoft pumps out Far Cry games, it will likely release within the next couple of years. That timeline is even more likely if a recent "leak" is to be belie
On the other end, adding RPG elements to every game is going to come with one notable shortfall: grind. And there is a repetitive grind in Far Cry New Dawn , whether it is going through the procedurally generated Expeditions or letting outposts fall back into the hands of Highwaymen scum. A lot of the game is going to be chasing after materials to upgrade and purchase better weapons; on the plus side, this feels like more of a balancing issue and less like a way for Ubisoft to target money with progression microtransactions (even if those are readily availab
