The game goes a little off the rails as you eventually gain superpowers, because why the heck not. The latter is the canonical ending, the spin-off Far Cry New Dawn picking things up 17 years later as you are plopped down into a very pink post-apocalypse to battle The Twins with Seed later showing up again, as well as the protagonist of Far Cry 5. The question is: how is Far Cry 6 explaining away the apocalyptic ending of Far Cry 5 and the events of New Dawn? Far Cry 5Īfter battling with the charismatic cult leader Joseph Seed across Hope County, the protagonist has two options: walk away and then (presumably) die anyway because of brainwashing, or go to arrest Seed and find that a nuclear bomb goes off, leading to them then taking refuge with Seed as the world crumbles. Set in the present day (so get any of those Vaas prequel theories out of your head), you play as Dani Rojas, a revolutionary in fictional Yara as they look to wrestle their country back from the oppressive President Anton Castillo, played by Giancarlo Esposito, and his son, Diego. Recently revealed after some pretty heavy leaks (as is the Ubisoft way), Far Cry 6 is the latest in a long line of open world shooters that’s due for release early next year for present and next-gen. Spoilers for Far Cry 5 and New Dawn ahead.
