Will this be Far Fry 6 or a spinoff like Primal?

Seems like it will be a spinoff, non-canon sequel to Far Cry 5, using the Far Cry 5 map, but post-apocalypse-fied. So, kind of like Far Cry Primal, which reused the map shape and terrain of Far Cry 4 in order to cut down on development cost and time:

Interesting.

I would like to see a Far Cry set in ancient Egypt. Just reuse the map and assets from AC Origins.

But I still want modern weapons and vehicles. Maybe camels with turrets attached.

I still wouldn't be surprised if this was an expansion rather than a full game. Please never put the words "confirmed" and "insider" next to each other.

If this is going to be a full release, my disappointment will be immeasurable, and my day will be ruined. Maybe this is just me, but out of all the Ubisoft franchises that are annual/bi-annual, Far Cry is the one which I would like the most to stop this trend. Granted, I haven't bought a Far Cry game since 3, which is the only game in the series I've gotten. So I guess Ubisoft doesn't care what I think. But still, it's so disappointing. As an "event" game, Far Cry has so much potential.

I almost bought Far Cry 4 because 2014 was a year of slim pickings, but I feel like the hype for it died out quick

When Far Cry Primal was announced I was super excited, I remember I got the Gameinformer before even knowing of it's existence. One of the few times I've cared about my GameInformer subscription. I love Prehistoric settings! Then .... nothing. I didn't hear anyone talk about it till right before release. It seems it wasn't that spectacular or new, and apparently it just copied Far Cry 4's map.

Then Far Cry 5 comes out and it's a game which has a lot of hype around it and interest. But .... the setting looks sooooo boring. Seriously, a Far Cry game in civilization? Sounds like ass. I don't need no Americana bullshit in my Far Cry.

I guess this will just be a franchise I'll forever remember for one great game ... cause this one looks boring AF (and that location looks so similar to 5's?)

Seems awfully soon for a far cry game me thinks unless its in the same vein of a far cry primal, middle game and not really mainline

I don't think that setting specifically is under consideration right now, but a Saharan desert game is on the list. Here are all of the options from the 2 most recent official Far Cry setting surveys:

  • Northern Canadian territories
  • On Another planet (there was a Mars DLC for Far Cry 5)
  • Post-apocalyptic world (seems to be next)
  • India
  • Cuba
  • Steppes of Alaska
  • Russia/Siberia
  • Vietnam (there was a Vietnam DLC for Far Cry 5)
  • Africa
  • Saharan Desert
  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • North Korea
  • Peru
  • Blood Dragon 2
  • Vampire game
  • Zombie game (there was a zombie DLC for Far Cry 5)
  • Spaghetti Western
  • Jurassic Park style island
  • Shangri-La

Looking at that list, I would love a game based in Cuba. Maybe you play as an apprentice to Che Guvera and you have to liberate the island. Maybe add some sim elements like socializing healthcare and build an army to stop people that try to escape the island. This could be an epic trilogy, blur the lines between Far Cry and AC.

Is this legit?



melbye on 06 December 2018

Looks like i was half-right in it being a direct sequel of sorts to 5.



AngryLittleAlchemist on 06 December 2018

I feel like Ubisoft not wanting to be bought by vivendi essentially just made them super greedy, even though realistically they were probably always going to go down this route. Like really, Far Cry bi-annual now? This sucks (and yes, I know it started with 4, just saying).

That's one of the better video game covers I've seen in the past few years.

It's their 2nd bestselling series after AC, makes sense for both AC and Far Cry to be bi-annual now imo. I can't really call that greedy personally, when there are tons of yearly series like CoD, the various sports games, and Ubisoft's own Just Dance franchise. 

>talks about a company releasing things on a tiring schedule because of the financial gain behind it

>"I can't really call that greedy personally"

Ok, but I can  

Fair enough

Really sad that after 5 years of waiting, we still aren't getting Blood Dragon 2, after Michael Biehn teased a sequel. Even worse is that we're getting a post-apocalyptic game, an over-saturated setting. Out of all of the good options on the latest official Far Cry setting survey, this was the one they chose to do next?

  • A Far Cry game in remote Alaska about surviving extreme wilderness
  • A Far Cry game in a futuristic, sci-fi setting on another planet
  • A Far Cry game set in the Vietnam war during the 1960s
  • A Far Cry game set in the cocaine trafficking jungles of Peru
  • A Far Cry game where you can fight against or join vampires
  • A Far Cry game in the Spaghetti Western style set in the late 19th century Americas
  • A Far Cry game that is set during a zombie outbreak
  • Blood Dragon 2: A sequel to Blood Dragon with more Rex Power Colt
  • A Far Cry game set in a Mad Max style post-apocalyptic world
  • A Far Cry game in the present day on a Jurassic Park style island of dinosaurs
  • A Far Cry game based on the world of Shangri-La from Far Cry
I will still play it because I like Far Cry, but this is quite disappointing. 

It's an interesting setting for a farcry game, but I still don't understand why they don't do a Jurassic park setting. It's perfect for a farcry title

 

Stranded on an island with dinasours and machine guns. It's perfect. It would be the most awesome farcry game. And they can go all out with the types of dinosaurs. Seriously riding a t-rex into an enemy outpost with a machine gun is the best sounding thing ever for a farcry game. And if they actually add a good story and vilian then wow. It would be amazing
