Far Cry 7: New Plot and Setting Rumors Revealed

While Ubisoft has yet to officially announce Far Cry 7, a recent casting leak shared on Reddit has potentially unveiled some exciting details about the upcoming installment. The game's narrative is rumored to center around a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, drawing parallels to the intense family dynamics seen in HBO's Succession.

The leaked character list includes members of the Bennett family: Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa. Among the antagonists, Ian Duncan stands out as a conspiracy theorist with a fervent following, driven by his disdain for the elite. Additional characters such as John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan are expected to play pivotal supporting roles.

Perhaps the most intriguing detail from the leak is the rumored setting—New England. If these leaks hold true, it would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has not yet confirmed these details, and it's important to remember that development changes could alter the final game.

Insiders have pointed out that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, lending credence to the speculation about its use as the game's setting. This historic region of the U.S., encompassing states like Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, could provide a fresh and dynamic backdrop for the series' renowned action and chaos.

Adding another layer of excitement, industry insider Tom Henderson has suggested that Far Cry 7 might be divided into two separate games, both expected to launch in 2026.
