(Image: https://www.theloadout.com/wp-content/sites/theloadout/2021/09/far-cry-6-best-weapons.jpg)Ever since Far Cry moved on to its current version of the Dunia engine with Far Cry 2 , a new entry in the franchise has come out every few years. For better or worse, there hasn't been a Far Cry game that's taken longer than four years to release between each numbered entry, not including spin-offs like Blood Dragon or more recently New Dawn . The latest numbered entry Far Cry 5 was announced in 2017, and subsequently released next Spring in 2018. With the highest amount of development time between Ubisoft's Far Cry games being about four years, and the lowest time being two, Far Cry 6 would be a perfect sweet spot clocking in at about three or so years of theoretical development t
Obviously this year is proving to be a bit strange for the games industry, Ubisoft included. Where a certain AAA failure forced it to delay many of its upcoming titles, issues related to COVID-19 have made things even worse. But there is hope, with Assassin's Creed Valhalla coming to next-gen consoles later this year. Only thing missing is the reveal for Far Cry 6 , farcry6Zone.Com which is also apparently slated for this fiscal y
Far Cry is all about creating mayhem within a giant sandbox. The next evolution of that approach would be implementing destructible environments. Imagine being able to blow up an entire house and expose all the enemies within. Destroying the buildings around you would never stop being fun. How about attaching C4 to your jeep, speeding towards a building, and then jumping out at the last second? Cover could also eventually be chipped away from gunfire, causing you to constantly be on the move. Many modern shooters have destructible cover, so Far Cry would need to get with the ti
In recent years, there has been an uptick in the number of games that offer co-op gaming. Players have previously teamed up in some pretty big titles, including Monster Hunter World , Dark Souls , and No Man's Sky , among others. It looks like 2019 will bring even more big co-op titles to players, including games from Nintendo, Ubisoft, and Bethesda, as well as other developers. Co-op gameplay will continue as a trend into the year. Here are some of the most promising games to look forward to in 2
According to the leaker, who we must stress provided no evidence to back their claims, development on Far Cry 6 is being supported by Ubisoft Reflections, which is also working on the recently-revealed Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Skull and Bones . Ubisoft Berlin, meanwhile, is working on a different Far Cry game, suggested to be an online multiplayer spinoff of some k
On the flip side, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint 's struggling state may have strongly affected Ubisoft's core franchises in big ways. Breakpoint received plenty of criticisms for microtransactions , repetitive gameplay, and several other issues. If critical gameplay adjustments need to be made to Ubisoft's other franchises as a result, it's possible Far Cry 6 could receive a circumstantial delay. No doubt it would be a difficult decisions, but Ubisoft would likely be hesitant to delay Watch Dogs or Rainbow Six any further than the publisher already has. So, considering Far Cry 6 hasn't even been announced, development may need to be slowed down or halted to divert resources to more pressing franchi
Basically the only thing that Far Cry fans can assume is that if the game is unveiled in a few weeks, it will likely be slated for 2021. Just based on previous release history, recent Far Cry games are typically announced a little under a year away from release. Again, assuming Covid-19 hasn't caused any production/development delays, that will likely hold true for Far Cry 6 as well . It's also worth noting that the last three Far Cry releases ( Far Cry Primal , Far Cry 5 , and Far Cry New Dawn ) have all released within a Spring release win
Hopefully for now the Far Cry 6 reveal will be a pleasant surprise, assuming its shown at Ubisoft Forward. Even though there's not much known about the actual game, everyone seems to know that Far Cry 6 exists. Considering four out of five of Ubisoft's triple-A releases have been unveiled and one of them is supposed to be a Far Cry title, Ubisoft Forward will likely reveal the next game in the ser
The first real co-op game arrived on PC in 1993 with Doom . The title introduced a co-op mode that allowed a team of four players to travel through the game together via LAN. Doom changed the way gamers played and encouraged them to host LAN parties where everyone brought their own computers and connected them to the same network. Since then, co-op has only grown, thanks to an increased interest in team gameplay and better technol
This one would be something new and refreshing for the series. Yes, they did have Far Cry: Primal , which took place in the Prehistoric ear. This would be different though. They could set you in a specific time period. There are plenty of other time periods they could tackle. Not only that, but the weaponry would also be different for that era. We will still want a place in time that at least had guns. Primal is an underrated game, but Far Cry should always be a shoo
