Far Cry 6 Officially Announced; Launches February 18, 2021 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, and Xbox Series X

Ubisoft have officially announced Far Cry 6 during their Ubisoft Forward presentation.

We cannot gather a huge amount of new information from the trailer alone; mostly confirming what we new from the leak leaked earlier this week. From the video description, we know the game’s environment will be a city- Esperanza- as oppose to the wilderness as past titles have been.


Players will engage in guerrilla warfare to overthrow dictator Anton Castillo, using weapons, vehicles, and even animals such as horses and a wiener dog. No platforms were announced at this time.

You can find the world premiere trailer and various other trailers below.

UPDATE: The game’s pre-order bonuses and special editions have revealed what platforms the game is coming to (Thanks Wario64!). These also confirm that the main character can be a man or a woman, and that Chorizo the wiener dog does not have functioning back legs.

The video description for the interview with Giancarlo Espositio also confirms more platforms.

Those who pre-order the game will get access to the Discos Locos CD launcher weapon, and the Libertad Chorizo skin.

The Gold Edition ($99.99) will give players the Season Pass, granting 3 DLCs when they launch “and more.” The Ultimate Edition ($ 119.99 USD) will grant the Season Pass, as well as the Croc Hunter, Vice, and Jungle Expedition Packs.

Each pack appears to offer their own combination of skins, weapons, and guns; with some granting vehicles or animal companions. The Ultimate Edition content is also available via UPlay+.

In Far Cry® 6, players are immersed in the adrenaline-filled, chaotic world of a modern-day guerrilla revolution. Welcome to Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time.
