Far Cry 7: Plot and Setting Rumors Unveiled

Leaked character names include Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. A prominent antagonist emerges: Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a dedicated following, whose animosity towards the elite fuels his ambitions. Supporting roles may be filled by John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan.

The most surprising revelation points to a New England setting. This would mark a significant departure for the Far Cry franchise, venturing into uncharted territory. While unconfirmed by Ubisoft, casting calls reportedly mentioned New England explicitly, bolstering this speculation. The diverse landscapes of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and other New England states offer a compelling new environment for the series' signature brand of mayhem.

Adding to the speculation, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted at a potential split release for Far Cry 7, with two separate games possibly launching in 2026. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, these details remain unverified, and the final game may differ significantly.
