For the 2020 Christmas business, Ubisoft is already releasing some gaming blockbusters. The latest installment of the Far Cry series, on the other hand, is still pending. However, the longer development time can certainly have its advantages. So you want to get back to your old strengths and bring a high-quality game to the market. Here you will find out how Far Cry 6 can make the jump to its own roots.
Already known: Cooperation with Mandalorian star and release fiasco
As in every part of the series, a powerful villain is waiting to be defeated by you in Far Cry 6. In this case it is the dictator Anton Castillo. "El Presidente" is played by TV star Giancarlo Esposito, who is known for his hit series Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian, among others. The game is to appear for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5. However, as with other Ubisoft titles, there was a release fiasco. This was originally scheduled for February 2021, but had to be postponed. Data from the Microsoft Store now points to a release between April and September 2021.
How the Jump Back to the Roots Can Succeed
The developers of the latest branch were extremely experimental. However, this did not go down well with most fans. In particular, Far Cry New Dawn came in for criticism. One of the main criticisms was the integration of RPG elements, which have no place in a Far Cry. For example, Far Cry 6 is said to do without a level cap on certain weapons. Also, the strangely looking life bars over the heads of the opponents will probably be gone.
While many fans criticized the USA setting from Far Cry 5 and New Dawn, they celebrated the island environment from Far Cry 3. This old strength is also what the latest branch wants to use. So it's off to a fictional Caribbean island in Far Cry 6. As is typical for the series, this is not a tropical holiday paradise - even if our protagonists from Far Cry 3 fell for this misconception. Rather, there is a militarily influenced island scenario waiting for you.
Furthermore, Far Cry 6 wants to give the player all the freedom in his approach again. This is to be achieved with the help of diverse weapons, different types of opponents and a variety of means of transport. The latter are not just simple cars. There will also be animals and jetpacks in the game. In addition, you can look forward to an innovative weapon of the DIY brand. So it's up to you whether you infiltrate enemy camps quietly with a machete or kick the front door in and burn everything down with an improvised flamethrower.
Is Far Cry 6 a game for you?
As is typical for the Far Cry series, the latest branch also offers an intense single-player experience. The focus is on both the story and the action-packed gameplay. The game is also suitable for co-op fans who want to experience the adventure together with their friends. Alternatively, you can fall back on other titles from Ubisoft, such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion.
