Far Cry 6

Overview

Far Cry 6 is a first-person open-world shooter set in Yara, an island nation under Castillo’s rule. Developed by Ubisoft Toronto and published by Ubisoft, it puts players in the role of a guerrilla fighter working to bring the regime down. Its campaign combines combat, exploration, missions and efforts to build support among the communities involved in the rebellion.

Yara’s landscape ranges from jungles and beaches to farmland and a fortified capital. Players can travel by horse, helicopter or buggy, while choosing which bases to capture and routes to clear as they move through the world. The game presents that progress as a flexible campaign: players can explore and take on missions while unlocking tools, upgrades and crafted gear.

Combat follows a makeshift guerrilla approach. Improvised weapons include a missile backpack and a minigun built from a motorbike engine. Animal companions can distract enemies, scout or attack squads. The campaign can also be played from start to finish in two-player co-op, with players coordinating attacks and combining Supremo backpack weapons.

Key features

Improvised combat and animal companions

The game’s Resolver approach centers on using unconventional equipment to undermine Castillo’s forces. Alongside improvised weapons, animal companions offer different kinds of support in combat, from drawing attention to directly attacking enemies.

A large open world to traverse

Yara’s varied regions provide the setting for taking bases, clearing routes and pursuing missions. Horses, helicopters and buggies provide different ways to get around, and players can decide how to work through the world’s objectives.

Rebellion built through local communities

Farmers, smugglers, rebel groups and outcasts all form part of the struggle against the regime. Helping communities advances the rebellion, while missions and upgrades give players ways to strengthen their network and improve their equipment.

Two-player campaign co-op

The full campaign supports play with one friend. Co-op partners can coordinate their attacks and combine Supremo backpack weapons while taking on Castillo’s forces together.

Platforms

Far Cry 6 is listed for Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X|S. Steam lists Windows support, single-player and multiplayer, including online co-op. Its Steam feature list also includes achievements, captions, in-app purchases, DualShock controller support and DualSense controller support.
