Far Cry 7: New Plot and Setting Rumors Revealed

Ubisoft has yet to announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak may have unveiled the first details of the next installment in this beloved franchise. According to Reddit users, the game's narrative is set to revolve around a brutal power struggle within the wealthy Bennett family, drawing comparisons to the themes explored in HBO's Succession.

The leaked character list includes intriguing names like Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. The antagonists are led by Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a devoted following, whose deep-seated hatred for the elite drives his dangerous ambitions. Other key characters mentioned include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who may play vital supporting roles in the unfolding drama.

Perhaps the most exciting revelation from the leak is the rumored setting: New England. If these details hold true, it would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has yet to confirm these details, and as with any game in development, changes could alter the final product.

Insiders have reinforced the speculation about the New England setting, mentioning that it was explicitly referenced in casting calls. 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' signature chaotic gameplay.

Adding another layer of intrigue, industry insider Tom Henderson has suggested that Far Cry 7 might be split into two separate games, both anticipated for release in 2026.
