There is peace here, the sun is hiding beyond the darkened room, its dying rays of fire sneaking through the shutters and cutting through everything with strobes of light and shadow, but something can be heard, raised voices, such? time? Maybe? – just beyond this cavernous entrance.
“They are ripped apart by opinions. Noise. Indecision. Strangled by their own freedoms, ”he adds, climbing an imposing ladder, never once looking back to see if his audience of one is keeping up. He knows that the boy is still there, imbued as he is with the iron certainty that when he instructs someone, anyone, to follow him, he obeys without hesitation.

“Even if you have love in your heart, even if you want the best for them, if you only want to save them from themselves… they will hate you, Diego. Everything you say, do and believe will be wrong. “
He opens the fire escape door at the top of the stairs, and the cacophony of dissent rushes over them both. From the debris strewn across the roof, one has the lingering sense that the riots below are not new, as the world below man’s feet is on fire, literally and metaphorically. The cars are on fire. The militia ignores the Molotovs with riot shields. Angry protesters topple statues and hold up posters that enrage against the regime. There is a line of fire and the painful feeling that this is not the first time men have looked at their executioners here.
For now, this short four-minute teaser is all we have for Far Cry 6. In the end, the camera reveals that the main antagonist El Presidente, Anton Castillo, is Giancarlo Esposito, Gus Fring from Breaking Bad and one of the more characters. terrifying on television. adversaries. Far Cry games have always been about the tyranny of despots, stunning exotic climates juxtaposed with the tyrannical rule of lawless thugs, and while we haven’t seen much of the former on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara … well, there’s certainly enough of the last.
The President seeks to convey to his son, Diego, that when he succeeds his father, he must cling to his people as tightly as he is forced to cling to this grenade, if only for his own good. His words, while seemingly sympathetic to his cruel altruism to the class, drip condescension, and as he passively watches the carnage beneath him, it is clear that he values his own preservation over that of his people … particularly when he urges Diego to show his loyalty by throwing the grenade over the crowd below them.
We have no idea if the grenade is active. We have no idea if Diego does what his father tells him to do and leaves him; loosens his grip, yes, but there is a sharp cut in the title screen before his decision is confirmed either way. It’s a staggeringly crafty teaser, actually, one that leaves us unsure whether Far Cry 6 forces us to take down this despicable duo or just El Presidente alone.
And although it would have been interesting to see Diego fight to end his father’s cruel regime himself, what a turn it would have been, we know that the rebels are led by the apparently disconnected protagonist Dani Rojas.
Far Cry 6’s release slipped when Ubisoft conducted a timely reassessment of its key titles, and while initially expected in February, it now has an ominously unspecified window of “Q1 2021,” which is widely expected, if not yet. confirmed, May 25, 2021, thanks to an announcement in the Microsoft store.
While we lack meaningful information on the game, many are wondering if Ubisoft will stick with its tried and true open world formula or experiment with something a little different this time, however we do know that Fangs for Hire is making a return for the game. sixth installment.
Introduced in the predecessor Far Cry 5, watch your four-legged friends join you in combat, including your incredibly adorable new canine companion, Chorizo.
Beyond that, however, details remain scant, and Ubisoft hasn’t spoken publicly about the sequel for months. You can make that whatever you want, there is a difference between a team that has nothing to say and does not say anything, of course, but the official Far Cry YouTube account remains disappointingly inactive, and the Twitter account linked from the Far Cry 6 official website apparently no longer exists.
At the very least, El Presidente’s harsh loving approach, if he is unlikely to be sanctioned by Supernanny, is surely a crude, if effective, means of getting our attention. We’re looking, Castillo, go ahead.
