We should already be able to explore the game world of Far Cry 6, because the shooter from Ubisoft was originally announced for February 2021. After a postponement, the release date was then completely thrown overboard, so that not even the year was considered safe. Now Ubisoft has finally provided clarity and given the sixth part of its popular open-world series a new release date.
Far Cry 6 will be released on October 7, 2021, for a variety of platforms. In addition to the PC and the new consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, the previous models PS4 and Xbox One will also be taken into account. In addition, the shooter will be available for the streaming platforms Google Stadia and Amazon Luna.
Familiar formula in perfection
Ubisoft has also revealed some information about the gameplay. So fans of the series can look forward to the familiar Far Cry principle, in which an open, tropical-looking game world can be freely explored on foot or by car. In addition, there are various outposts there that can be conquered by you, as well as the typical plot of the series, in which an eccentric antagonist must be stopped.
This time the role is played by Giancarlo Esposito, known from Star Wars The Mandalorian, who plays the dictator Anton Castillo. Castillo rules with violence over the island republic of Yara and has cut it off from the outside world.
Far Cry takes new directions
Even though Far Cry 6's basic approach does not deviate from the typical formula, the shooter still takes a new direction in other respects. First of all, you can decide whether the main character Dani Rojas should be male or female. Furthermore, the protagonist finally gets a voice again, unlike in the direct predecessors, where all actions were accepted wordlessly. Also with regard to the game world itself, Ubisoft changes course a little.
While you are still waiting for vast natural areas with jungle, beach or mountain setting, the capital Esperanza presents itself as a real metropolis with high-rise buildings and street canyons, in which the fighting has a completely different effect on a much smaller scale.
It is also interesting that the weapons on Yara are sometimes very experimental. This is a direct consequence of the isolation of the island state, which has forced the inhabitants to defend themselves with self-made close and long-range weapons. For this reason, fireworks or saw blades are often used as ammunition in the fighting.
Have you been bothered in the past that you were attacked almost everywhere in Far Cry? Then you will probably like the new feature that you can put away your weapon in the future and move through the game world much more inconspicuously. Also new is that different vehicles in Far Cry 6 can be individually adapted and also the choice of your outfit will have more than just an optical change.
