Far Cry 6 details

Far Cry 6 is set in Yara which is said to be a “tropical paradise frozen in time in the heart of the Caribbean”. The game will allow players to experience the fictional world as local Yaran and military dropout Dani Rojas. You will be able to choose to play Dani as a man or woman. The game will be set in the backdrop of Antón’s brutal rule which ignites a revolution across the country.

Players will join the revolution to liberate Yaran people from the oppressive rule of dictator Antón Castillo and his son Diego. Users will operate from hidden guerrilla camps across the country, gathering soldiers and resources while planning their next move.

Far Cry 6 will allow you to explore a vast and contrasted open world that will include everything from jungles to decaying cities, in solo or two-player co-op modes.
