Far Cry 6 is an open-world first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Toronto (with help from about ten other Ubisoft studios) and published by Ubisoft. It was released on 7 October 2021 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. It is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, whose dictator, Antón Castillo, is played by Giancarlo Esposito. You play Dani Rojas, whose gender you choose at the start, and fight alongside the guerrilla movement Libertad. Castillo's 13-year-old son Diego is also part of the story.
The game follows the Far Cry formula of outposts, side activities and a large map. Wikipedia names Madrugada, Valle de Oro and El Este as the three major regions in the plot, with the capital Esperanza. Resolver weapons are improvised prototype weapons that add perks to your loadout (for example a silent close-range nailgun and a slingshot that fires CDs), and Supremo backpacks give special abilities such as homing missiles. Animal companions called Amigos help in combat and exploration, and the game includes a cooperative multiplayer mode.
DLC: the season pass includes story episodes starring Vaas Montenegro (Far Cry 3), Pagan Min (Far Cry 4) and Joseph Seed (Far Cry 5 and New Dawn), plus an updated Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. The paid expansion Lost Between Worlds came out on 6 December 2022, and free extras include a Danny Trejo guest appearance, a Rambo-inspired mission and a Stranger Things crossover mission.
