‘Far Cry 6’ trailer reveals new story details

Far Cry 6

A new story trailer for Far Cry 6 reveals what drives Dani to fight back, as well as what motivates Antón’s rage.

The trailer shows protagonist Dani escaping Yara on a fishing boat with other citizens. Their eventual goal was America, but things go wrong.

Antón Castillo, voiced by Giancarlo Esposito boards the boat with several armed men. It is revealed that his son, Diego, was aboard the vessel. The dictator takes back his son and orders his men to kill everyone on the boat.

The trailer is available below:

The trailer shows the key motivations of both player character Dani, as well as main antagonist Castillo. Ubisoft released a statement that Far Cry 6 will not be political, but Giancarlo Esposito said in an interview that his character was obviously based on Fidel Castro. 

Along with the new story trailer, an upcoming DLC was revealed that would allow players to take control of major villains from the series. Vaas from Far Cry 3, Pagan Min from Far Cry 4, and Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5. The trailer, which shows off the gameplay, is available below:

This information leaked ahead of the Ubisoft Forward stream, but fans of the series got their first look at the way this new mode will play out in a trailer titled “Become the Villain” which showed off gameplay and the narrative hooks that allow see the previous Far Cry villains return.

‘Far Cry 6’ will have third-person perspective sections and be political
The story of the ‘Far Cry’ series is a bit of a strange one, and while it’s always been a first-person shooter, the first game in the series really was different to how the game is nowadays. But don’t think back too hard on the early days of the series, or you’ll end up remembering how ‘Far Cry 2’ had a mechanic whereby you had to get malaria injections every now and then to keep going. But ‘Far Cry 6’ looks more like the games in the series that made it hugely popular. A very strong narrative direction with stand-out characters. This time Ubisoft has even drafted in famed actor Giancarlo Esposito for a leading role, known for playing characters in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul to name but a few. That doesn’t mean it’s sticking to the mould entirely, though.
