Now, Far Cry 6 looks like it’s going to be such a great game given what we know already. And since the developers had time to receive feedback from previous games, they would have already improved on the Far Cry formula from that feedback. With much hype surrounding Far Cry 6, here’s what we already know, and what we hope for:

12 It takes place in a Cuban-inspired setting

The game takes place in Yara. A ’land frozen in time.’ The world of Yara captures the beautiful architectural landscape of Cuba, detailing every nook and cranny of the country. Yara surely won’t fall short of feeling like Cuba too, in the same way that Far Cry 4’s Kyrat is to India. In addition, Yara would be Far Cry’s biggest world yet, allowing for more varied landscapes and biomes. Knowing Cuba’s revolutionary history, this makes it the perfect setting for a guerilla uprising.

11 It centers around a revolution

Far Cry 4 and 5 focus on a plot where the people revolt against an oppressive leader. The Golden Path is the revolutionary movement of Far Cry 4, and the people of Hope County in Far Cry 5 seek to dispose of cult dominion of their community. Far Cry 6 will do the same. The trailer shows Anton Castillo, the main antagonist, with his son standing atop their palace. Beneath them is a revolutionary riot with freedom fighters taking down his statue and causing all sorts of havoc.

10 The antagonist is a fascist dictator

Anton Castillo is the ruling dictator of Yara. The trailer establishes him as hated by his people. This is explicitly shown through the destruction of his statues, the riots, the signs and vandals that read ‘fascist,’ and the greeting on the grenade handed to him ‘Muerte a Castillo’ which translates to ‘Death to Castillo.’

Anton is cool, calm, collected, yet assertive and firm. He is also a future-oriented father who grooms his son to take over his place as ruler of Yara. Played by Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito, he’s sure to make one hell of a bad guy out of ‘El Presidente.’

9 The main protagonist is a revolutionary leader

If the game’s main antagonist is a fascist dictator, then it’s only right that players play as the Che Guevara equivalent of gaming. Players will play as a revolutionary leader who will ignite the fires of the revolution to overthrow the dictatorship. The players will build their army and gather the necessary resources to strengthen the revolution. This may include dismantling radio towers, intercepting enemy convoys with precious cargo, and building a network of rebels.

8 The main protagonist can talk

Far Cry 5’s mute protagonist has zero personality outside of grunts and screams of pain. He’s (or she’s) also not named anything besides ’the Deputy.’ Far Cry 6’s main protagonist, however, has a name: Dani Rojas. If Ubisoft has given a character a proper name, that means that they have also given him a fitting personality requiring a voice. Another interesting thing about this is that Dani Rojas, like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Eivor, can either be a male or female. This means that Ubisoft has allocated two different voice actors for the role.

7 There will be companions

Dani can’t possibly overthrow the government by himself. Like all Far Cry protagonists, he will just do most of the work. Though there will be a revolutionary army, companions will be available in addition to help the players take down the opposition. Ubisoft has stated that fangs for hire will be in the game, but has only acknowledged one of them for now.

Chorizo, the wiener dog, is an animal companion that will distract enemies like Boomer does in Far Cry 5. Human companions would most likely be available since it would be a shame if Hurk would miss out on this one.

6 There will be makeshift weapons

With any dictatorship, the country’s funds are more oriented towards military development and security than its people. The rebel group would have to rely on makeshift weapons, like a flamethrower built with a muffler, to wage war against the government. Another is this disc launcher seemingly built from parts found at home depot. There would also definitely be Molotov cocktails in the game, along with other makeshift arms.

5 There will be vehicles-on-demand

Far Cry 4 and all previous titles were deprived of on-demand vehicles. With Far Cry 5 and New Dawn, vehicles were available to spawn anytime at the players’ command. That is also the case with Far Cry 6. Ubisoft shows that purchasing the Ultimate Edition of the game gives players exclusive content such as clothes and vehicles. The presence of vehicles in the Ultimate Edition pack suggests that players can own vehicles in the game.

4 The main protagonist may be fully customizable

The main protagonist Dani Rojas can either be male or female. However, his (or her) face isn’t shown too clearly. Since the Ultimate Edition features exclusive clothes, players may have the option to fully customize Dani’s face, hair, and clothing just like with the deputy in Far Cry 5 and New Dawn.

This gives a customization similar to Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Breakpoint where Nomad can be fully customized, but is still addressed by a proper callsign. Given this customizability, it could mean that Hurk won’t be the co-op model for the 2nd player like with Far Cry 4.  

3 Diego Castillo will be a crucial plot element

Diego Castillo, son of ‘El Presidente’ Anton Castillo, is groomed and taught how to succeed his father. In the trailer, the dictator Anton tells Diego that like the grenade in his hands, he should clutch his people “nice and tight” so that society doesn’t “go boom.” However, towards the end of the trailer, Diego’s fingers hesitantly loosen around the grenade before cutting to black and ending the trailer. This could mean that he is conflicted between his father’s advice and his own morals after seeing how much the people hate his father. It may suggest a branching storyline where Diego follows in his father’s bloody footsteps, or he takes a more democratic approach as ‘El Presidente.’

2 There might be a secret ending

Far Cry 4 had a secret ending where Pagan Min took Ajay to scatter his mom’s ashes at her shrine. This is triggered after the players stayed put at the start of the game, enjoying some crab rangoon in the process. Far Cry 5 also had an ending triggered by the same means. Far Cry 6 could very well follow that pattern. Dani Rojas could be introduced to Anton Castillo at the very start of the game, and by simply doing nothing, he has triggered the best possible ending for Far Cry 6. That being said, there’s a very good chance that this game has more than two endings.

1 Anton Castillo might be the good guy

Far Cry 4’s Pagan Min turned out to be a better man than what Ajay and the Golden Path expected of him. Far Cry 5’s Joseph Seed’s ways may be vile but he had good intentions. He made a complete turnaround in New Dawn, seeing the errors of his ways. Far Cry 6’s trailer already establishes Anton Castillo as wanting the best for his people. Though the people obviously hate him, Castillo could be doing just what’s best for them.

This good side of Anton is shown with the speech he gives his son in the trailer, saying “…and our people, they do not know how to be happy. They are torn apart by opinions. And even if you have love in your heart, they will hate you, Diego. Everything you say, do, believe, will be wrong.”
