Ubisoft recently announced that it will be hosting its own digital showcase next month in replacement of E3 2020, named Ubisoft Forward. Amongst the likes of Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion gameplay, the French publisher will also be announcing new next-gen games, and there's a good chance that one of them will be Far Cry 6. After Bloomberg's Jason Schreier shared word on the sixth iteration a few months back, a new rumour claims that it'll be revealed in July.
This comes from German site Game Reactor, translated by Tweak Town. In an article which shares a number of proposed leaks, Far Cry 6 is said to launch before April 2021 for PlayStation 5 and deviates away from the North American setting of Far Cry 5. The game will be officially unveiled at Ubisoft Forward on 12th July 2020.
This makes a lot of sense to us, especially so when you factor in the fact that Schreier has already spilled the beans on the project. We suppose the real talking point is the game's setting, which the site claims will satisfy those who didn't enjoy the fictional Hope County. Ubisoft Forward is only just a month away now so it won't be too long before Far Cry 6 is reportedly set to unveil itself. If it really is a thing, it'll need to make some drastic changes to differentiate itself from the rest of the series. We're not sure if we can sign up for another Far Cry game that uses the same set of mechanics and systems. Come on Ubisoft, let's get a bit of innovation.
Would you play a Far Cry 6? Do you think it'll be announced next month? Tackle a bear in the comments below.

vaas voice actor michael mando teased about it recently might be going back to rook islands prequel to 3 may be ?
I want dinosaurs or if not South America or Australia would be good. And please no silent protagonist - I want an actual character who talks - oh and bring back Vaas
@rockertherockgod Dinosaurs would actually be pretty awesome.
But if change the gameplay.and the foundation of the game.people will complain oh.its not far cry anymore.people complain about everything this day.i remember resident evil 1 and 2 and 3. People was complaining its the same old gameplay.while resident evil 4 was a masterpiece.people still complain.oh its not resident evil.its not scary.like wtf.some people.but far cry dont need to change.word up son
Yep, give the protagonist a voice and some character. And bin those bloody RPG style bullet sponge enemies.
Actually playing as Vaas would be cool! Give me a job Ubisoft I'm a genius!
I really didn’t like the last far cry. Was disappointed in it massively. Hopefully they do something new with this one.
I really enjoy Far Cry Games and have no issue if the mechanics were the same as in 4 or 5, whilst I thought New Dawn was pretty weak I liked the addition of expeditions so it would be good to see something like that come back, it would also be awesome to see Vaas again!
@playstation1995
I agree the gameplay loop is just fun and I’ve enjoyed all iterations. My biggest gripe with 5 was within an hour of gameplay I had a silenced sniper, silenced shot gun and silenced LMG. There was no challenge at all with the game. Added to that you could pretty much have 2 AI characters with you at all time. I just hope to have more challenge in 6. Even in 4 by halfway you were indestructible but I want a better challenge. Having said all that I’ll definitely be getting it as it’s great dumb fun. Also hoping next gen no issues with skydiving and flying frame rates they were choppy at best
@gingerfrog. True that the far cry games is always fun.3 is still the best.word up son
@gingerfrog I totally agree about the difficulty. I played 5 on my own and it was moderately difficult on hard. Really only the lineair sections in the bunkers were somewhat difficult.
But I then played it with a friend of mine in coop and you had the same amount of enemies and it was waaaay too easy. Everytime things kicked off just a little bit it would allready end. Upping the difficulty only changed the amount of damage you take and nothing else. Real shame because otherwise it was a fantastic game
I've enjoyed the normal game mechanics since FC3 so happy enough to have more of the same in FC6 .
@playstation1995 i agree as far as gameplay wise goes. You cant deny that farcry has great shooting mechanics, world building and stealth etc. Its the story element where the game always falls flat for me.The pacing always seems off. The only farcry ive played to completion was 3. Interesting story, interesting location and an interesting bad guy...oh and burning down weed fields 😂
They will have to pull a quality jump like from 2 to 3 if they want more people to play. I liked 4 and 5 but it became so stale...
Bought farcry 5 & found it boring & the graphics weren't as good as I was expecting either
@H4ilHydra that would be awesome!
@Kidfunkadelic83. That weed field mission was hillarious.far cry is always a good time.word up son
I'd personally like something new from ubisoft (yes, i'm aware Gods and Monsters looks a bit different).
Remember that vein of innovation and creativity when they launched rayman origins/legends, child of light and valiant hearts? Thats what i want from ubi, rather than pulling out the same tired franchises and desecrating fornerly great ip like beyond good and evil with some foul mouthed imitator (i hope the lack of news on bg&e2 is because they went back to the drawing board).
Ubisoft are a brilliant developer, but their reliance on the same formula across their titles does create a sense of fatigue
i actually forgot there was a far cry 5 lol
One of my fav franchises. Awesome just being able to travel the world & attempting missions either silent or go in all guns blazing. These games are great for just being fun games. It def doesn't take itself seriously. Really looking forward to the next far cry game.
Really hope they have a complete bottoms up redesign of the Far Cry gameplay. I loved Far Cry on PC back in 2004, loved 2 ( my fave) 3 was great but Far Cry 4 and 5 were just so bboooorrriiinngg.... no thrills, repetitive and frustrating, I could not be arsed to finish either of them, gave up halfway through. And don't get me started on Primal. Each time I buy them thinking "oh it might be different" ....but no
Love all Far Cry games,don't care if they always repeat the same gameplay,that's why i like them.
would love it if it's Far Cry Primal 2 as that was my fave but I don't care Personally..it's Far Cry.
I think Far Cry 5 is a much better game than 3. Far Cry 5 kept me wanting to be a part of the game world. 3 is just so unbearably samey. It's like 3 is a failed attempt at modernizing Far Cry 1
I love the far cry series. The 3rd one is my favourite but 5 is pretty good. I never seem to tire of these games so I'm looking forward to the next installment ^.^
@gingerfrog try playing them on ultra hard mode, no silenced weapons and no one to help you, it may be more of a challenge.
