What is Far Cry 6's release date?
Far Cry 6 is expected to launch sometime in 2021 for PC, Stadia, the PS4 and PS5, and Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
According to a Microsoft Store listing, Far Cry 6 will launch on May 25, 2021. Ubisoft hasn't confirmed this date, but Microsoft Store dates published before official announcements have proven true in the past.
During an earnings report call, Ubisoft announced that the game would be delayed from its original February 18th, 2021 date to later in the year. A new date hasn't been officially announced.
What's the story in Far Cry 6?
In Far Cry 6 you'll be fighting in a revolution against the rule of Yara's dictator Antón Castillo who has been in power for 50 years. It appears to be a dangerous time for the country, with the trailer showing government agents with guns and riot shields and civilians with explosives. Ubisoft says its writing team spent time in Cuba getting to know the island and meeting former guerrilla revolutionaries that influenced the game's story.
"When you're looking at something as complex as an island that's been essentially cut off from the rest of the world for 50 years, been in an economic downturn, electing this leader on the back of this idea of building a new paradise, the idea with Antón is he definitely lulled people into believing this was the only answer for them. That he was the one that was going to solve all their problems," Khavari says "And so for us, it became super-interesting on the character side to explore the idea of, you know, there definitely were some people that voted for him, that believed in him, that now are regretting that choice; and there are those that still support him. The intersection of those demographics and worldviews and opinions is something that plays out in the story as well."
Ubisoft say that Antón witnessed his own father being executed 50 years ago, part of how he rationalizes his policies and the views that he attempts to pass on to his own son Diego. "He believes that not only do the Castillos deserve to be in power, but they're the only ones that are going to be able to see Yara through to becoming a paradise once again."
Ubisoft haven't said yet how Dani becomes involved with the two Castillos just yet, but Khavari tells Game Informer that "That triangle of characters between Antón, Diego, and Dani is absolutely crucial."
Is Diego actually young Vaas Montenegro?
After the Far Cry 6 reveal trailer, fans begin speculating that Far Cry 6 could actually be a prequel to Far Cry 3. The theory hinges on Diego Castillo being a young Vaas Montenegro, based on the scar both have on their right eyebrow.
Vaas's voice actor Michael Mando teased a possible return to the role during a Reddit Q&A with fans, saying "Vaas is my spirit animal - having co-created that character is something that will always be dear to me. I still get recognized as Vaas, and I still feel the outpouring of love for that character - makes me very happy. Who knows... maybe I will reprise the role very soon?"
Vaas is a fan-favorite villain of the series, so folks would certainly welcome his return, though things may not be quite so simple. In Far Cry 6's reveal trailer you can see Diego wearing what look like modern headphones, which doesn't exactly square with him being the younger version of Vaas who was born in 1985 and would have been Diego's age in the late '90s. Consider this one wishful thinking for now.
