If you're planning on tuning in to the Ubisoft Forward digital showcase on Sunday 12th July, chances are you'll get to see the first glimpse of Far Cry 6. The game has been heavily rumoured ever since Bloomberg's Jason Schreier let the cat out of the bag a while back, and now it looks like Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian actor Giancarlo Esposito will play the role of the main villain.
This story really caught fire a few days ago when Esposito said that he been working on a huge video game. The full quote, sourced from an interview with Collider, is as follows: "This video game I did; which is going to be huge. Can't really mention," Adding more fuel is GameReactor UK, who in a deleted article stated that the actor in question will indeed star in Far Cry 6. So, with Ubisoft Forward just over a week away, the likelihood of this sixth iteration putting in an appearance seems extremely high. We also expect Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion gameplay to be a part of the showcase alongside even more announcements and trailers.
What do you want out of a Far Cry 6? Should it stick to the series' traditional template or does it need to go in a new direction to capture your interest? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

If it does have Giancarlo Esposito then I'll definitely be interested is seeing what it has to offer. 5 was good but Ubisoft need to move away from these enormous maps and concentrate on filling smaller areas with great content
This game series needs an overhaul. I couldnt finish 4 and 5 I literally played for about 4 hours before deleting it off my harddrive
I dont know how ubisoft can change the gameplay but I'm open to another dictator being the next antagonist, South America perhaps?
I thought they already announced they're going back to somewhere tropical, probably just a rumour I heard.
I don't blame websites for reporting, but I kinda miss the days of surprises. Granted this is not super shocking news, but man, this industry cannot keep many secrets anymore.
Note, my avatar is a very close representation of me, so I am an old man complaining about the "good old days"
michael mando will be returning i am guessing(recently teased about returning as Vaas back in april reddit AMA).. game will be set on exotic islands which is also confirmed..
I really like the look of Watch Dogs Legion, so I hope development is going well probably just set back for next generation.
I really liked Far Cry 3 because of the setting's, gameplay was great and a amazing villain. I got the Far Cry 3 remaster with the DLC pass for Far Cry 5 DLC, definitely playing that soon.
@Snackfood I'm with you, the days of watching a stream and being surprised by what appears are rapidly disappearing. It's understandable but a shame.
Also I could be the other one in your avatar.
@BearsEatBeets Statler always needs a Waldorf. It's more fun to yell at clouds in a group!
I remember how awesome the God of War and FF7 Remake reveals were. Those are rarer and rarer.
Tropical setting again? Don't forget your malaria tablets!
I'm playing Far Cry 3 again now.Loved it back on the 360 and liking it now.If Vaas does return as well,having two guys from Breaking Bad will be awesome.
Just hope the content is more engaging this time instead of a map littered with icons of busy work to tackle.
FC4 was superb. One of the only Platinum’s I have is for this game. Love it
To be fair I actually think Far Cry does change it up a lot. The gameplay is kind of similar (which is a plus as far as I'm concerned) but the settings and locations are all over the place (again, in a good way). FC2 remains my favourite - something about the African drumming soundtrack that sticks with me.
Game needs an entire reboot. The graphics and world is still pretty cool in 5 but the story always seems to suck.
I hated the last far cry. Three was the peak.
Better get your tower climbing gear ready and parachutes (instead of zip lines or hang gliders) I couldn't finish 3 after getting into the 2nd island it just seemed a rinse and repeat scenario. And the at the time the PS3 version was just awful to play sluggish controls, poor load times and lag when loading the areas.
Got it then in pc and it was a vast improvement but again couldn't finish it, 4 looked mostly the same but different settings and 5 just looked boring with that other one as well.
It needs a new overhaul because FC is getting stale
Far Cry 4 & 5 bored me to tears. No excitement, no fun, dull as dishwater, which is a shame as 2 & 3 were fantastic. 5 looked great but I uninstalled about 8 hours when I realised life is too short to waste. I couldn't bring myself to try Primal or New Dawn after watching Let's play footage. 6 needs a huge direction and design change
@banacheck Don't get too attached to the idea of that "remastered" word. Slight resolution boost, stable 30 fps. Nothing more.
