Far Cry 7: New Plot and Setting Rumors Revealed

Ubisoft has yet to announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak has potentially revealed the first details of this much-anticipated installment. According to Reddit users, the narrative will focus on a brutal power struggle within the wealthy 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. Among the antagonists, one name stands out: Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a devoted following, whose deep-seated hatred for the elite drives his ambitions. Other key characters mentioned are John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who might play significant supporting roles.

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 not yet confirmed these leaks, and as with any game in development, changes could alter the final product.

Insiders have noted that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, lending further credibility to the speculation about the location. This historic U.S. region, encompassing states like Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, promises a fresh and exciting backdrop for the franchise's characteristic chaos.

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