Rumor: New Possible Details About the Plot and Setting of Far Cry 7

Ubisoft remains silent on Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak offers intriguing glimpses into the potential storyline and setting. Reddit users report a plot centered on a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, mirroring the dramatic tensions of HBO's Succession.

The leaked cast includes family members Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. A prominent antagonist emerges: Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a dedicated following, whose animosity towards the elite fuels his ambitions. Supporting characters, John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, are also mentioned.

The most surprising detail is the rumored setting: New England. This would mark a significant departure for the Far Cry series, venturing into uncharted territory. While unconfirmed by Ubisoft, casting calls reportedly explicitly mentioned New England, lending credence to the speculation. The diverse landscapes of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and other New England states could provide a compelling new environment for the franchise's signature brand of action.

Adding to the mystery, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted at a potential split release for Far Cry 7, with two separate games possibly launching in 2026. As always, these details are subject to change during development.
