One of the best parts of any given Far Cry game is its post-release support. These games might be a little bit samey, but Ubisoft pushes the franchise into some pretty insane scenarios, providing some wildly different ways to play. Far Cry 6 appears to be no different — the publisher is planning a robust roadmap of post-launch content, and it all sounds pretty mad.
Firstly, there will be a bunch of stuff given out to players for free. There will be Weekly Insurgencies, new missions to track down and eliminate Anton Castillo's compatriots, which will of course reward you with new gear. You'll also receive six Special Operations — these take place in new locations and introduce new mechanics. You're tasked with stealing highly volatile chemical weapons and reach an extraction point before they overheat.
Also coming free of charge are three special missions that cross paths with some famous names: Danny Trejo, Rambo, and Stranger Things. Yes, that's a Far Cry 6 and Stranger Things crossover. What a world.
On the flip side is the season pass, included with certain special editions of the game or available separately for $39.99. The main attraction here are three DLC episodes, each one putting you in control of a past Far Cry villain: Vaas, Pagan Min, and Joseph Seed. Set for release in November, January, and March respectively, these trippy episodes will play out a little like rogue-likes, as illustrated in the above trailer.
What's more, the season pass will grant access to Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon: Classic Edition. You just straight up get Blood Dragon as part of the season pass. Cool. Finally, a Blood Dragon set of gear is thrown in too, usable in the main Far Cry 6 game:
- One outfit: Blood Dragon Gear Set
- Two weapons: AJM9 and Kobracon
- One vehicle: Omega Enforcer
- One weapon charm: KillStar
- One Fang for Hire: K-9000
- One vehicle Chibi: Blood Dragon Chibi
Phew! That's a fair amount of stuff, both free and not-so-free. What do you think of all this additional content for Far Cry 6? Will you pay up for the season pass? Go upside down in the comments section below.

Has blood dragon been remastered then? I don't think it was available to buy on the store (PS4) previously. It was just on PSNow I think. I wonder if it has a new trophy list?
More excited about Blood Dragon than the actual game 🤣
Ooooookay then. Danny Trejo is a god.
@fR_eeBritney it says classic so its just the ps3 game on ps4/5 hardware by the looks of it. Ubisoft tricked me with the Watch Dogs Legion season pass. It included the original watch dogs but they called it the complete edition so i thought it was some sort of upgrade. I was wrong lol
Ah I'd consider giving Far Cry 6 a crack if the main player character was Danny Trejo! (As opposed to Blandie McBland or whoever the blank slate is this time zzzzz)
@Ichiban Naah at least this time round they won't be bland. It's 2 characters to choose from with voices and they appear in cutscenes. Waiting for reviews for this first though.
Not bothered about Stranger things but Danny Trejo is a different story, a bit of a shame the other one isn't actual Rambo
Co#$ Mi@#das... 🤣🤣 love it!
Free stuff looks good. Game shapping up nicely.
I rather have a SP with story DLC like Valhalla. But I wait untill they all out to decide if I want to play it or not. Not something I care about on Day 1.
Also...free upgrade to the ps5 version. I know...Ubisoft are doing it...
Personally I’m not interested in it at all. I only play the solo campaign and DLC skins, guns, vehicles etc aren’t something I’m interested in as I said. Extra DLC solo campaign mission expansions a la Ghost of Tsushima Iki island expansion and Metro Exodus’s Sam’s story and the two colonels etc I’m absolutely interested in. Anything short of that is just fluff
This actually looks good, however I'll have to miss the season stuff they're chucking in because I can't play through 2 Far Cry games in a row, I'll be burned out after 5 for a while. I'm guessing the crossover content will always be available, though.
I’ll wait until March to get this when all the DLC is available and it’s been sufficiently patched. Added bonus the price would have dropped significantly.
@Thelegend159 this is the way.
Nice new content & free aswell. Big time fan of far cry series.Got my preorder locked in. Really looking forwards to play this.
Can’t wait for the Black Friday or Boxing Day deep discounts to play this!!
So we're getting rambo as rambo (but possibly not stallone?) And danny trejo as danny trejo(but not machete trejo? Or any other trejo character for that matter?)
The killstar brings back memories, I wanna be a ninja again.
Word up son
I’ll be getting the season pass. I absolutely love Far Cry and 6 is one of my most anticipated games of the year.
Can't wait for Far Cry. Prolly won't play the DLC. But I rarely play any DLC these days. By the time it comes out I have to re teach myself how to play games and I'm usually on to something different by then.
@Danloaded @fR_eeBritney I'm pretty sure they did mention somewhere that Blood Dragon Classic was a remaster.
Makes sense since previously it was only on PS3/360/PC.
@KidBoruto yeah, I just checked on the store and the Far Cry 3 (Classic Edition) says:
“UPDATED GRAPHICS AND GAMEPLAY
Far Cry®3 Classic Edition has been updated to run smoothly on modern platforms and allow fans and newcomers to experience the single-player Far Cry® 3 campaign in stunning detail.”
Hopefully Blood Dragon is the same 😬
@KidBoruto fair enough but its weird to call it 'Classic' if its being remastered lol i didnt play blood dragon the first time around so il be checking it out regardless lol
@Danloaded @fR_eeBritney Yeah Classic is an odd name choice, but here's hoping Blood Dragon is remastered.
