Perhaps the most interesting rumor thus far comes from a Reddit AMA with the franchise's most iconic villain. Earlier in April, Vaas actor Michael Mando was answering fan questions regarding both Far Cry 3 as well as his role in AMC's Better Call Saul as Nacho Varga . One of the questions asked of Mando was “Do you still get recognized as Vaas or do more people see you as Nacho now?” Mando responded in general his love for the character Vaas that he co-created during Far Cry 3 's development, but also went on to mention that he may be able to reprise the role “very soon,” seemingly as a j

This leak comes from 4chan, and so it should be treated with a healthy amount of skepticism. Even so, accurate video game leaks have originated from 4chan in the past, and so it's not out of the realm of possibility that this one is legitimate. At any rate, the anonymous poster posted in a thread about a potential new Splinter Cell game with a list of Ubisoft's studios and what projects they're working on, with Far Cry 6 allegedly in the works at Ubisoft Toro

Obviously that would be conjecture if it weren't for the many rumors and leaks that back this up. Most notably, back when Ubisoft confirmed five triple-A titles were releasing during the 2020-2021 fiscal year, all but one of these games have been officially revealed. So far, Assassin's Creed Valhalla , Watch Dogs: Legion , Rainbow Six Quarantine , and Gods & Monsters have been unveiled. Many reports since then have stated that Far Cry 6 is the fifth triple-A title coming from Ubisoft this fiscal year. Several other rumors and Farcry6Zone.Com leaks have corroborated this as well, among other unconfirmed gameplay deta

Vaas represented a pivotal shift in Far Cry 's narrative structure that served to transform the series into something much more insane. Actors often like to have fun with AMAs and interviews as such, but occasionally tease things that could be true. The way its written seems more of a joke than anything, but it wouldn't be the first time an actor has hinted at a possible return. Vaas returning to Far Cry 6 may even mean the next game is a sequel to Far Cry 3 as well. Considering how iconic Vaas has become for the franchise since its third iteration, his return would be interesting considering he presumably died at the end of Far Cry

(Image: https://burst.shopifycdn.com/photos/colorful-iphone-6-cases.jpg?width=746&format=pjpg&exif=0&iptc=0)Insanity has also become a mainstay motif of the Far Cry franchise, to which most fans attribute to Far Cry 3 's Vaas and the impact the character had on the franchise. Honestly pretty much every Far Cry game has had a twinge of insanity, considering there are literal mutated monsters in the first game. Far Cry 2 's insanity, however, was reflected in the game itself. Several mechanics that many considered over-developed or unnecessary served to make the game unpredictable. Guns would get rusty and jam, or even break apart into pieces after prolonged usage. Buddies could potentially die permanently in any interaction. Even the protagonist becomes afflicted with Malaria at the beginning of the game , forcing the player to source medicine to prevent the disease from flaring up during com

As for what to expect, it's tough to say. There's very little known about the next Far Cry that isn't just a rumor or corroborated with another source. Most of the “leaks” just allege that Far Cry 6 certainly exists in some capacity, which may be true but that's a little more than obvious at this point. Each gameplay/story leak alleges something completely different, ranging from a sequel to Far Cry 3 with Vaas as a returning character to the return of a tropical setting and helping zoos with jetpacks and “Narcos” inspired elements . In case the second part of that sentence wasn't enough, it's also important to note that there's little to no backing/evidence for any of these leaks. Some early leaks for a North Korea setting were bolstered by a Far Cry /Ubisoft fan survey, but that was not conclusive by any me

These settings often accentuate the story and are key elements of the franchise's story telling. Each game only makes sense in the context of its setting, and each time, the location looks better than the last. Assuming Far Cry 6 releases on PS5 and Xbox Series X, it seems certain that the location will be interesting and beautiful, and bring the franchise forward. Players may be excited to see who the next antagonist will be, the overall view of the story, but they are as equally excited to see the reveal of a setting, something that can't be said for some ga

Hopefully for now the Far Cry 6 reveal will be a pleasant surprise, assuming its shown at Ubisoft Forward. Even though there's not much known about the actual game, everyone seems to know that Far Cry 6 exists. Considering four out of five of Ubisoft's triple-A releases have been unveiled and one of them is supposed to be a Far Cry title, Ubisoft Forward will likely reveal the next game in the ser

Until we get an official confirmation from Ubisoft, it's hard to gauge what to expect from the next Far Cry game. At the very least we know that the project exists from outside sources, so the anticipation is certainly there. Incorporating elements from one of the more divisive Far Cry games so far could serve to aid the next game in the ser
