Far Cry 7: New Plot and Setting Rumors Revealed

Ubisoft has yet to officially announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak may have given us our first glimpse into the next chapter of this beloved franchise. According to Reddit users, the narrative of the game will center around a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, drawing parallels to the themes explored in HBO's Succession.

The leaked character list includes Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. The villains in this saga are led by Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a fervent following, driven by his disdain for the elite. Other significant characters include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who are rumored to play vital supporting roles.

One of the most intriguing details from the leak is the rumored setting: New England. Should these leaks hold true, it would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has not yet confirmed these details, and as with all game development, changes could significantly alter the final product.

Further fueling speculation, insiders mention that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, lending credence to the location rumors. This historic region of the U.S., encompassing states like Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, could provide a fresh and dynamic backdrop for the series' characteristic chaos.

Adding another layer of excitement, industry insider Tom Henderson has suggested that Far Cry 7 might be released as two separate games, both expected to launch in 2026.
