Far Cry 6 will hit PlayStation 5 and PS4 on 7th October 2021, Ubisoft has confirmed as part of a gameplay reveal trailer embedded above. Nearly five minutes of footage details how utterly absurd the island of Yara is, from makeshift weapons through to the act of healing wounds by burning yourself with a lit cigar. It certainly looks like a Far Cry game, but this appears to be one we can get on board with. Now there are less than five months until we can play it for ourselves.
Ubisoft also teased even more information is right around the corner, so expect the game to appear during the publisher's digital showcase next month. Further details shared after the livestream reveal Far Cry 6 will receive three pieces of DLC, with a Gold Edition and Ultimate Edition available for pre-order on the PS Store now. PS4 owners will receive a free upgrade to the PS5 version.
It just needs to be better than Far Cry 5, or at least do something different. What do you make of this latest slice of footage? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Looks pretty good, not a day one purchase for me but excited for those looking forward to it.
Giancarlo Esposito is so cool, I really want to like this but it kinda looks like that exact same thing again. Hopefully the story is good and it doesn't take itself to seriously.
This looks really good to me! The compact disc gun is preposterous in the best way, hopefully there is some creative flexibility in crafting these weapons.
Day one for sure
Should probably just wait for the eventual Ultimate Edition at a sale price, with the possibility of an included spin off like New Dawn.
Far Cry was never my thing and this doesn't look light it would change that
Day one for me as I love farcry something about the exploration etc. I’m the same with assassins creed Valhalla, at the moment.
I am kind of burned out on Far Cry games especially after the lackluster 5. This needs to be amazing for me to purchase this.
I'm really glad the protagonist talks again, that was the only thing I disliked about Far Cry 5
It sucks that Sept-Dec is going to be loaded while the next 3 months are pretty barren, not including Ratchet and Clank.
The CD-gun playing the Macarena has sold a copy of this game. I'm in.
It looks alright but I guess I'm just burnt out playing these games now. This said I'll still buy it but not on day one like I usually do, Far Cry 5 was just really disappointing to me.
I know it doesn't matter that much but these graphics are pretty underwhelming
This is... not what I had envisioned sadly. The Saint’s Row vibes are strong and I was hoping for a more mature tone. Back to my heavily modded Far Cry 2!
Looks great. It's beautiful and lovely FARCRY. Day One if my wallet allows me.
I definitely like the Cuba inspired setting. It feels like a natural fit for a Far Cry setting. I also like how they are going back to a focus on one villain instead of the group of villains FC5 had and its also good to have a voiced protagonist again. It looks more like FC4 which I'm very happy to see!
I like my Far Cry on the realistic side in terms of guns and setting (loved Far Cry 2 and 5 the most) so I'll pass.
@OmegaStriver Depends on you definition of barren. For me, between R&C, Scarlet Nexus, Samurai Warriors 5 and Kena, I think I'm pretty well set.
Why does it need to be better than Far Cry 5?That game was awesome!
But yeah,this looks decent...can't wait!
Why that shade on Far Cry 5? Far Cry 5 was my favorite in the series. I hope Far Cry 6 is able to create that same open world mission approach that Far Cry 5 has. Might be a day one if it doesn't have that stupid weapon level system like Far Cry New Dawn.
Looks awesome to me, day one…
Oh, and I also liked Far Cry 3 Classic, Far Cry 4, New Dawn and Far Cry 5 (not the DLC🤮)
So bring on 6 👍🏻😎
The wheelchair puppy must be protected at all cost.
My mates already called dibs on buying this day 1 (nice and free for me), so im buying dying light 2 and horizon if its not £70.
Female protagonist with a personality? Sold.
That looked fun.
Looks better than Far Cry usually does from that first impression.
@R1spam No way it’s the same thing! It’s Ubisoft! They never recycle or repeat their work! [sarcasm font]
Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. A good story and or at the least good characters would be a nice change coupled with their games generally solid gameplay.
@OmegaStriver perfect time for the backlog. Let’s me justify a new purchase when I whittle through games on my shelf.
Eh. I have 4 and 5 with all their dlc and have never installed them. I am personally tired of the open world formula. Also, why does the character burn themselves with a cigar? Baffling.
@Jayofmaya Cauterising a bullet wound. Snake does the same thing in MGS3.
Looks great fun but far cry 5 burnt me out. Loved the world, exploring and some of the crazy missions but the constant cut scene encounters and bloody annoying villains did my head in. Will still probably get it though, when it's half price after a few months.
@nessisonett Ahhh, it's been a while since I've played that one. I still remember the medical screen and seeing an arrow in a place that would ensure Snake was never, ever having children again. I think I'd find that annoying in most games but usually had enough medicine to fix everything because I was mostly stealthy. I remember getting into more shooty shoot battles in Far Cry 3.
DAmn, Ubisoft really needs to update their engine! Characters (face and animations) look incredibly bad.
The lighting brings back the weird overexposed reds from bright lightsources (like fire) from AC Valhalla.
I am a big fan of Ubisoft games, and have been for a long time, but they are at the point where a big shake-up is necessary! Reboot AC, transform Immortals into a franchise, make The Division 3 free-to-play, make Far Cry games smaller and more experimental (like Far Cry 2, FC Primal or FC Blood Dragon), hope for Riders Republic to be fun enough, and most importantly, bring back the UbiArt Framework program that gave us Child of Light and Rayman... that should be a good start.
How can we say no the a Macarena gun?
Of all the Ubisoft garbage, I probably like Far Cry the best. This looks good, but honestly, not as good as either Horizon: Forbidden West or Dying Light 2. I always have a pretty good time with Far Cry, though, and I loved Montana in 5. I wish they'd write a story that takes itself a bit more seriously, truth be told. They've always had fun gunplay, and I'm looking forward to trying out that rocket backpack for some good overkill fun, but I'd love to see them combine it with a meaningful story for once.
Most first person games make me dizzy so I am slightly reluctant. I like the style though.
Looks really good.far cry games are always fun.word up son
@JapaneseSonic
Guns jamming are the tip of the iceberg. Fire spreading realistically for the first time ever in gaming, having to take out a bullet to treat a wound, realistic guns, realistic setting, theme, factions and great antagonist. I happen to be interested in post-colonial Africa (wrote my M.A. on this subject) and I found the setting and themes disturbingly realistic.
Looks great, I hope it's better and more innovative than far cry 5.
Yeah, it’s Far Cry alright.
I just hope there are no slow-walking, psychedelic-drug-effect, swirly-screen parts in this one.
@2cents TBH, I'm surprised the season pass doesn't include a remaster of FC2. That seemed to be the trend.
@Olmaz I wish they would bring back the towers. What do people have against the towers?
Looking forward to play it. Looks pretty nice and actually resembles far cry game. I am thirsty for new far cry game so much 😭
I love the FC6 map from what i have viewed in this and other videos. For the weapons, pet gator, cute dog, 50's car, and the use of the Macarena song i give 2 thumbs up. The game play looks like more of the Far Cry fun formula that started with FC3.
One question. All of the FC6 videos i have viewed are wide ratio with black bars and probably captured from a pc. What's the deal? When playing on my PS4 i want a full screen image on my 16x9 ratio tv.
So this game obviously more of a piss take than serious. A gun that fires CDs while playing them out loud but still doesn't attract attention from the enemy characters. Stupid but fun. I like it.
Love me some Far Cry, so I'm in... just not on the Xbox the trailer suggests.
Er… this is a bit too weird for my Far Cry love. Don’t mind the spiritual/mythical content it often has but this just looks too wacky for me.
Shame, was quite excited for this.
I kinda like my Far Cry grounded in some kind of reality, this looks its following in New Dawns outlandish style and not taking itself serious, getting strong Just Cause 4 vibes from it.
I'll play it, but atm its not up there for games I want to play Day 1.
My poor account ...............
Maybe it's too soon to tell, but from the initial reveal & having the such a highly regarded actor on board as the villain, I was hoping for a deeper narrative & darker tone on this one. But nah, just a boring revenge tale with the usual Ubisoft, look how cool we think we are wackiness.
I'm already rooting for the bad guys on this one, can I play as Giancarlo Esposito & teach young Vaas the ropes? That sounds way more interesting to me!
Bah, I'm old.........Get off my lawn.
If these games had a third person mode I could definitely get behind them!
Looks great! Good dumb fun! Also, I enjoyed FC5 so I hope this is as good.
I'll be waiting a few years for a $20-$25 sale with all DLC included, but the trailer definitely grabbed my attention.
@Wazeddie22 well it certainly needs to be not worse..
I hope they remove the tedious unskippable walking sections. Really inexcusable in 2021.
@mariomaster96 I was stupid enough to hear about the endings in Farcry 5 and heard that both endings where not not good. ..
@gollumb82 Wasnt it a game with game breaking bugs that where never officialy fixed or was that part 1?
@Flaming_Kaiser
I don't recall any game breaking bugs in FC2. Then again, I played this and FC1 when they were fully patched. Open world games are bound to have some bugs, no matter how many patches are thrown at them. Unless they are Bethesda level of bugs, I can live with them
It's the one game I am looking forward to playing this year 😀
If it's 60 fps on PS5, I'm in. If not, then why did I bother with a PS5?
Don't buy day one as ubisoft games are known to drop in price pretty fast. Made that mistake with watch dogs legion I buy for $60 then a month later it was half price. I'm waiting for sure this time. Game does look good but I can wait a month or two
@D6rkLordS6t6n just sell it. I bet most ppl still don't ha e 4ktv but they bought ps5 anyway
@Flaming_Kaiser I think the ending where the bad guy wins was the real ending because bishop in far cry new dawn was actually the protagonist from far cry 5. I think the father was a cool guy. Hoping el presidente is a likeable guy like the 4th game who was the protagonists dad.
@KidBoruto I don't think they ever sold a far cry game with all dlc included. You could buy the game cheap after a few months but the dlc will always stay the same price because it's digital
@BansheeNorn You must be confused, because I was able to easily find the games with all DLC included.

Far cry 5 was a lot of fun in coop. But Im afraid this is a bit too wacky for me
@BansheeNorn Personally i hate it when the bad guy wins why am i even playing the game then especially when somebody spoils the game for you.
It looks very dated graphically... those faces are horrible.
