Far Cry 6 is a 2021 1st-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Toronto and published by Ubisoft. It is the 6th installment in the Far Cry series and the successor to 2018’s Far Cry 5. The game is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, ruled as a dictatorship by “El Presidente” Antón Castillo (played by Giancarlo Esposito) who is raising his son Diego (Anthony Gonzalez) to follow his rule. Players take on the role of guerrilla fighter Dani Rojas (voiced by Nisa Gunduz or Sean Rey), trying to overthrow Castillo and his government. The gameplay focuses on combat and exploration; players fight enemy soldiers and dangerous animals using different weapons and equipment. The game has a lot of features that are found in the arcade game, such as leveling system and side quests. It offers a multiplayer mode support.
The development of Far Cry 6 started around 2016 and was extensive. The group studied several recent historical changes for the game’s history, particularly the Cuban Revolution of 1953-1959. The play is designed to be “political”, covering topics such as the rise of fascism in the country, the costs of imperialism and the need for free and fair elections. The development team also wanted to bring back many elements from previous Far Cry titles, such as the temperature and the full disclosure campaign. Esposito teased the game in July 2020 and made a public announcement later that month during the Ubisoft Forward online event.
Far Cry 6 was released open world for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox 1, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia, and Amazon Luna on October 7,year 2021. It received generally mixed reception, with Criticism praises the minor improvements made and series’ gameplay system, but criticizes its story, lack of innovation, and aging design. Several types of downloadable content were later released, including three expansion packs based on antagonists from previous Far Cry games.
