It turns out, however, that the silence is ending much sooner than fans may have expected. Instead of waiting for the Ubisoft Forward event, which is scheduled to take place on June 12th, Ubisoft will be holding a livestream to reveal the first sample of Far Cry 6’s gameplay on May 28. It will air at 9:30 am PDT/6:30pm CEST.

The teaser trailer doesn’t reveal any gameplay of its own, with it consisting entirely of narration from Anton Castillo, the game’s main antagonist who is being played by Giancarlo Esposito. Castillo gives a speech about defending Yara, the fictional island he rules, from the fake Yarans spreading chaos. Considering he’s a dictator and players take control of a freedom fighter aiming to remove him from power, his speech can most likely be considered a form of propaganda. At one point, his portrait is defaced to give him devil-like horns.

Castillo’s son, Diego, is completely absent from the teaser. Castillo is raising his son so that he will eventually take over and continue Castillo’s rule over Yara in his place. However, with how little info there is, it’s not entirely clear what role Diego has in the story. There was at one point speculation that he is a younger Vaas from Far Cry 3, but that is false.

This livestream doesn’t necessarily rule out Far Cry 6 being shown off in some form at E3, but the question now becomes whether or not Ubisoft has separate information saved for June. At the very least, there’s a possibility Ubisoft could share a more concrete release date either during this week’s reveal or at the Ubisoft Forward event.

The game was supposed to release earlier this year but, due to the aforementioned coronavirus pandemic, Ubisoft opted to delay Far Cry 6 until after April 2021. Depending on how far along development is, a 2021 release is still viable and possibly the most ideal for Ubisoft. However, it’s also possible that it won’t be ready until early 2022.
