Ubisoft will show off gameplay from Far Cry 6 later this week, the company announced today. For Far Cry fans, this is their first chance to see the game since Ubisoft delayed it last October. The May 28th stream will start at 12:30PM ET.
Far Cry 6 was originally set to be released on February 18, 2021, but was delayed alongside Rainbow Six Quarantine to after March 2021 due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.
Far Cry 6 will takes place on the totalitarian island state of Yara and players will take on the role of Dani Rojas (who can be male of female), a Yaran guerrilla revolutionary.
As previously mentioned, Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito will play Anton Castillo and Far Cry 6’s introduction showed that he preparing his son Diego for leadership of Yara.
Ubisoft’s decision to show off one of its most anticipated upcoming games a little over two weeks before its E3 2021 presentation on June 12th is something of a headscratcher. All the same, you have to imagine most fans won’t mind the early look, especially with Giancarlo Esposito of Breaking Bad fame set to play the game’s antagonist.
