Far Cry 7 was the subject of a new leak this weekend, but it clearly made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The disappointment among the players is all the greater.
Ubisoft will hit hard this year. In 2024, the publisher will focus on two particularly anticipated games: Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Red. The French giant should communicate more about this in the coming weeks, but one of its next major productions is still the subject of leaks. A leak about Far Cry 7 that reached serious proportions and ultimately left a bitter aftertaste for many players. Explanations.
A Hollywood star in Far Cry 7?
Summer Game Fest is a time full of possibilities. The sequel you dream about, the game that fell off the radar, a release date for Hollow Knight Silksong… anything is possible. Publishers use the aura of the event to present their next productions. Ubisoft will hold its annual conference separately to highlight its future AAA(A). Among the games already announced we can count on Star Outlaws, scheduled for release in August, but also Assassin’s Creed Red, the episode set in feudal Japan. The Division Heartland and Splinter Cell remake could make the occasional news splash, though some can’t help but hope for a small appearance from Beyond Good & Evil 2. It could also be that Ubisoft has a little surprise in store for us: Far Cry 7.
Although the game has still not been revealed, thanks to some indiscretions from reliable sources, it is talked about from time to time. Now it’s the turn of j0nathan, a videographer known for his leaks surrounding Ubisoft franchises, to do his part. To set the tone, four images were released that would represent the essence of Far Cry 7, one of which features Cillian Murphy, known for his roles in Peaky Blinders and Oppenheimer.
Without any context, the leak made headlines as many believed that the Hollywood star would succeed Michael Mando and Giancarlo Esposito as Far Cry 7’s antagonist. 12 hours later, the leaker was determined to deny this theory. “ The picture means something different “, he softened. The damage was already done, with many internet users already raving about the Oscar-winning actor’s presence in the game. Many of them are very disappointed.
Already information about the story
So what should we interpret? Insider Gaming If everything was revealed some time ago, this new installment would be slightly different from its predecessors. Far Cry 7 would be set on the fictional island of Kimsan, located in the Yellow Sea near Korea. The story then follows a wealthy family who are kidnapped by a conspiracy group called the Children of Truth. The player then has 72 hours (24 hours in real time) to save his family from their kidnappers. The scenario would then be non-linear as it would be possible to save our loved ones in any order. At this point, it’s difficult to know what the most fantastic picture with a giant crab means, just like the one with the actor. Maybe this has something to do with the ideology of the new group that is about to be destroyed? Maybe in a few weeks we will solve the problem, the Ubisoft Forward from Monday June 10th seems ideal.
