Just days before the Ubisoft Forward presentation is set to air, Far Cry 6 has been leaked to the masses, complete with a full description, box art and release date. The leak came from an early listing on the Hong Kong PlayStation Store.
The box art features Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian actor Giancarlo Esposito front and center, who appears to play the game’s central villain. The game will take place in Yara, a “tropical paradise stuck in time” under an oppressive regime, which seems to take influence from Latinx culture.
“Welcome to Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time,” the leaked description reads. “As the dictator of Yara, Anton Castillo is intent on restoring his nation back to its former glory by any means, with his son, Diego, following in his bloody footsteps. Their ruthless oppression has ignited a revolution.”
Diego, Anton’s son, has a peculiar scar on his right eyebrow that some fans theorize make him a young version of Far Cry 3’s Vaas, meaning that the game would be a prequel to that entry. Or, you know, they could just have similar-looking scars. Time will tell.
