Update: Ubisoft has acknowledged the leak with the following tweet:
Original story: If it isn't the Microsoft Store doing all the leaking, it's the Hong Kong PlayStation Store! Yes, Far Cry 6 has leaked ahead of this Sunday's Ubisoft Forward digital event with a listing that reveals a whole host of details. Most importantly, it's coming to both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on 18th February 2021. Should you purchase the PS4 version and later upgrade to PS5, you'll get that next-gen version for free.
This leak also confirms the rumour that Giancarlo Esposito of Breaking Bad will star in the game. "Welcome to Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time. As the dictator of Yara, Anton Castillo is intent on restoring his nation back to its former glory by any means, with his son, Diego, following in his bloody footsteps. Their ruthless oppression has ignited a revolution", the store listing reads. Of course, both versions come with pre-order bonuses.
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Play as Dani Rojas, a local Yaran and become a guerrilla fighter to liberate the nation.
YARA TORN APART
Fight against Anton's troops in the largest Far Cry playground to date across jungles, beaches and Esperanza the capital city of Yara.
GUERRILLA FIREPOWER
Employ makeshift weapons, vehicles, and Amigos, the new Fangs for Hire to burn the tyrannical regime to the ground.

I have been getting really burned out on far cry’s gameplay to be honest. I hope they’ve made some much needed changes to the formula.
I’ll still be getting it no doubt, but I’m not sure I would again if it’s more of the same old same old.
Personally I also get burned out by how formulaic the narratives are. You play some increasingly bland plank fighting off a hugely charismatic villain who is the real star of the show, mainly overthrowing their tyrannical reign.
Like yeh, I get that nowadays one of Far Cry's defining characteristics is some marketable villain and ending a regime of cruelty and insanity but ngl I'm getting tired of it.
Ubisoft are getting absolutely wrecked with leaks. Might as well just upload the entire event now to avoid any further damage.
Why innovate when you can stick Gus on the box I guess
Yeah, I can't say I'm that interested based on this info.
I can't wait to see Far Cry 6 on the PS5 LOVE FC games
I really loved Far Cry series 2,3, Blood Dragon and even 4 was great games, bud 5 was terrible, and New Dawn was forgettable at best. I really don't trust Ubisoft to make a good game anymore.
Is Dani Rojas a bloke or a bird? The Dani spelt with an I threw me.
@ApostateMage My other half is called Dani and checks shes a girl
I like the far cry games but they need to shake up the formula.
The gameplay and sandbox is always fun but the story is usually boring and unskippable cutscenes or ‘walking’ sections drive me up the wall.
This literally sounds like a reskin of far cry 4.
@ApostateMage pretty sure Dani can be male or female
Ubisoft: we are going announce some games on this specific date
Internet: maniacal laugh
No need to tell us the plot, it's just a rinse and repeat of ever other game.
@Kidfried Far Cry 4 didn't hold a candle to 2 and 3 for me and was the beginning of the downward slope. I hope they've switched things up for this game both in gameplay terms and plot terms.
Hah, as soon as he twitted that he was appearing in a big video game I knew right away he was playing a Far Cry villain
@kyleforrester87 Thanks for checking, mucker.
@Arnna Sounds like another mute protagonist.
Its not the combat or the worlds i have an issue with in far cry games. Its the boring story lines, uninteresting villains (Vaas excluded) and pointless side quests. They need to have a word with CPR about how to make a world.
N.i.c.e i l😍ve far cry games.cant wait for far cry 6 word up son
Sees Gus, gets excited
Sees Ubisoft proudly claim its the biggest map yet, excitement leaves
@MarcG420 Yep, I agree. Far Cry 5 got pretty boring to me after the opening hour..
@Arnna don't go giving her ideas.
@carlos82 haha this
I sort of enjoyed New Dawn but the series is becoming stale.
@carlos82 it’s almost prohibitively big at times, isn’t it?
Like give me 20-30% smaller with 50% more density and good world building with things other than trees.
No way, Esposito is so good! This will be super interesting!
Another “leak” from Ubisoft? They have more leaks than my local leek farmer.
I expect this to be the same old same old ubi game, my hopes are very low, looking forward to the watchdogs London reviews though, that might be good
I kinda gave up with Ubisoft open world games a few years ago, just seemed all the same. Dived into Far Cry 5 this year after a psstore sale but my interest didn't hold, still just seemed the same old game. I doubt this'll be any different for me unfortunately
I will be pre ordering this one on PS5 for sure, I appreciate the formula might be a bit stale (although I liked the addition of expeditions in New Dawn) but I really like the gun play, and yes the bad guys are always the star of the show.
Sweet, so it's confirmed now but yeah i agree it can feel more of the same but it's a great game to chill out with too.
@Carl-G same here man, so much fun 💗💗😝👍
Don't know if anyone has said it already, but it sounds like Far Cry X Just Cause!?
@piggyhero Far Cry 4 could have worked if Pagan Min has more screen time instead of being a voice on the radio most of the game. Its a shame that Ubisoft are so intent on creating another Vaas without understanding what made Vaas good
I wish we would get another game like Far Cry Primal. It was still the FC formula but mixed up parts to make it feel new and interesting.
I really hope they're not using that cover as box art, the most generic uninspiring cover ever !! Surely they want to sell the game. That looks like a dodgy 80s straight to video film
Wow, people being negative in the comments? Weird! I personally, think this looks great. Looks like a South American setting, which sounds awesome! Dense jungles and possibly pyramids to explore????
ubisoft's assembly line mentality to making sequels is going to destroy them in due time. i don't see how their sales numbers can keep up as interest wanes in their ip. they need to branch out with some new ideas.
I enjoyed Far Cry 4 back in 2014. It was also my first PS4 game, as a voucher for it came bundled with my system.
Maybe I'll do the same with PS5 and Far Cry 6.
Ubisoft used to make and publish great games. Now it's the same things over and over. Not hating on fc6 it'll just be deja vu a bit.
@KingPev I almost wonder if that's the point to look like some 80s straight to video action movie.
This really isnt a leak. Who didnt know this was coming, lol? This is practically an annualized title from Ubisoft.
How about some actual antagonist character development for once? Pagan Min could have been so much more and the whole caught thing turned out to be standard fare...
The ending to Far Cry 5 was truly abysmal
that kid is michael mando(Vaas) he teased about his return in april reddit AMA..
😅that aged like milk kid is voiced by Anthony Gonzalez (coco)
Nice for the Free PS5 upgrade.
Never cared for FarCry till recently (so nowhere near tired of the series). But have no desire to backtrack and play ancient looking open world games. I'll 100% try a new entry.
If it has a Dog buddy I am in. I am a sucker for games with dog/wolf sidekicks 😂
This game will now have rpg elements, huge empty lifeless open world, dumb ai, npc's will now have levels, xp booster packs for sale from get go, full of boring side quests, never ending grind to extend the story so they can say the game will take 60 hours to complete, boring survival elements. Oh did i say that this game will now be played in 3rd person?
Is that the breaking bad guy?
Giancarlo Esposito might get me back on board, since I loathed 4 and 5. To be honest though, all I really want is another blood dragon.
I loved 3 and had a lot of fun with Primal and after that i didnt get another one. Just like AC its the same thing over and over rinse and repeat.
Great come back, definitely day one on this.
At least Ubisoft knows how to handle leaks like a champ.
far cry 4 was just crap.. and 5 looked worse, so didn't go near it, probably wouldn't even play it if it was free. and reading this.. warlord/villian/tyrant blah blah, fight the oppression... could be any plot from the far cry or modern (terrible) ghost recon games. ZZZzzzzzzzz.... but they keep selling relatively well so ubi will just keep churning them out.
Wow so much negativity for a new Far Cry.
I absolutely love the franchise and actually just complete and platinumed Far Cry 3 a few hours ago.
I admit New Dawn was probably the weakest in the series but 3,5 and Primal were fantastic!
Looking forward to sunday.
@thefirst The guys can even make a AC in Japan. 😆
Hopoe they drop the rpg style
I've never played any of the Far Cry series before, but hope this turns out good.
I got an email if I watch the Ubi live thing I get watch dogs 2 for free doesn't say if I have to watch it all though
@H4ilHydra
Seems legit, the kid even has the same scar on his eyebrow as Vaas.
@kyleforrester87 hahahhahahaha Savage. Also have farcry new dawn bought yet ain't played it at all. After completing the first which was pretty good with the acting and music but man those ai need to get an overhaul and please give our main guy a voice. Far cry 2 will always be my fave out them all though never got into 3, and 4 i kept having to delete due to needing storage for other games as my first ps4 the brick that sounded like a jet engine with 500 gb needed the upgrade with a hdd. Then the slim 1tb came and soon after my pro which i must say I have had no problems with at all, but again it's only a year old but that slim 1tb gives my pro a run for its money hardly any noise bar when im booting mw up but i had to play gow on the pro, couldn't bring myself to play gow or rdr2 on a base ps4.
Really looking forward to this. I love all of the Far cry games. Pure fun & awesome gameplay. Bigger map? I’m in, cannot wait for the proper full reveal of this. Also, the kid in that picture has a scar in his eyebrow like how Vaas has in Far cry 3.
God.. female protagonist?
I saw the actual trailer had leaked earlier as well. Was intriguing but obviously no actual gameplay in it
