Far Cry 6 takes place on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, which is inspired by Cuba and described as “the largest Far Cry playground to date” and “a tropical paradise that is frozen in time”. It is ruled by “El Presidente” Antón Castillo (Giancarlo Esposito), a fascist dictator with full control over the island. Castillo is guiding his son Diego (Anthony Gonzalez), who is unsure of his own future, to follow in his footsteps. Esposito described his character as a leader “trying to empower the people to understand that they need strong leadership now”, but is stuck in the middle of a revolution. Esposito further added “His father was a dictator before him and he wants to empower the people to take their country back. His goal is to use the resources that they have within the country to survive without allowing outsiders to come in and co-opt their scientists, their intellectual property, all of these things”. Esposito continued that Antón is “trying to empower his son to take up his mantle and really embrace ideas that would allow him to see that soon he will probably be the next leader in this country”.
The player takes the role of a local Yaran named Dani Rojas, a guerrilla soldier fighting for freedom who attempts to restore their nation to its former glory. The player can select Dani’s gender at the start of the game.

You’ll be thinking that Far Cry 6 takes a lot from Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 5: New Dawn as you’ll be dealing with crafting a lot of weapons from random scraps that you find around Yaras as you make your way through the usual areas such as strongholds, cities, and other missions as you help the local rebels in their fight. The good thing is that there are some very interesting vehicles and weapons that can be made in Far Cry 6, with a perfect example being a gun that shoots CD-R Discs while playing the music that is on them… Which could be very fun with PC modders.
Far Cry 6 will be released in multiple versions, from Standard to Collectors Edition, and you’ll get a couple of bonus items for pre-ordering the game now.
Far Cry 6 will be available on Microsoft Windows (Via Epic Game Store & Ubisoft Connect), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna, and Stadia on October 7, 2021.
