Ubisoft has announced that Far Cry 6 will now be released worldwide on October 7 on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Stadia, Amazon Luna, and for Windows PC
Set in Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time in the heart of the Caribbean, players will experience the adrenaline rush and chaos of guerrilla combat as they join the revolution to liberate Yaran people from the oppressive rule of dictator Antón Castillo and his teenage son Diego – brought to life by Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian) and Anthony Gonzalez (Coco).
As local Yaran and military dropout Dani Rojas, players will be swept up in the guerrilla movement as the brutality of Antón’s rule reaches new heights and the fire of revolution ignites across the country. Players will be able to choose to play Dani as a woman or a man, and will join forces with a colourful cast of characters, including Clara Garcia, the leader of revolutionary group Libertad, or Juan Cortez, a jaded ex-KGB spy and guerrilla master as they fight their way to take down the tyrant.
To succeed against the overwhelming power of Antón’s army, players will embrace the "resolver" spirit, a philosophy of resourcefulness found across Yara, making use of everything and whatever they have to inflict chaos on the regime. Fueled by the creativity of "resolver" mastermind Juan Cortez, Far Cry 6 features a broad and unexpected arsenal of customizable "resolver" weapons and tools. From a motorcycle engine powered minigun to a homing missile throwing backpack, pushing the "resolver" spirit to the limit will grant Dani the power of an entire guerrilla army.
Far Cry 6 gives players unprecedented freedom to experience the game the way they want by supporting their playstyle, whether they prefer a stealthy or forceful approach. We'll be able to pick traditional weapons and use new ways to traverse the world such as horses, tanks and crazy DIY vehicles. They will also be able to pair up with all-new animal companions like Chorizo, the adorable wiener dog no soldier can ignore or Guapo, Juan’s soldier-hungry pet crocodile.
With all this new information comes a lengthy gameplay reveal trailer that offers an idea of how all these different gameplay approaches will factor into Far Cry 6. The footage here is incredible, and it seems fair to say that this is one long-delayed title that should be worth the wait.
