Far Cry 6 Reveal Date At Ubisoft Forward

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


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


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


Obviously this year is proving to be a bit strange for the games industry, Ubisoft included. Where a certain AAA failure forced it to delay many of its upcoming titles, issues related to COVID-19 have made things even worse. But there is hope, with Assassin's Creed Valhalla coming to next-gen consoles later this year. Only thing missing is the reveal for Far Cry 6 , which is also apparently slated for this fiscal y


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


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

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

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


While there were some rumors about a potential new Splinter Cell entry coming in the next fiscal year, the leaks were corroborated to be the now-confirmed Assassin's Creed Valhalla and the still unconfirmed Far Cry 6 . Earlier this year, during a Ubisoft earnings call, it was confirmed that the company would be publishing five of its AAA titles for the 2020-2021 fiscal year . As of this publishing, four of those five titles have been revealed and confirmed: Watch Dogs: Legion , Gods & Monsters , Rainbow Six Quarantine , and now Assassin's Creed Valhalla . And with Splinter Cell not seeing a new entry anytime soon, all fingers are pointing to their last gigantic AAA franch


I can imagine the development process behind Far Cry New Dawn . Ubisoft developers, project designers, and executives crowded around a conference room, pouring over the reviews of Far Cry 5 , looking at the shortfalls and critiques and meticulously planning on how to improve the sequel--where to experiment on in the franchise. While the gambles they made with Far Cry 6 strategy|https://farcry6zone.com/ Cry New Dawn were mainly an across the board success, the experience feels lackluster, repetitive, and hollow in a usually engaging ser


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
