Three days ahead of Ubisoft Forward, Far Cry 6 has leaked on the Hong Kong PlayStation Store. The listing was initially discovered by Resetera user toumari.
According to the PlayStation Store listing, the game will release on both PS4 and PS5 on February 18th, 2021. The PS5 version will be a free upgrade to those who buy the PS4 version before buying a console.
As rumoured, it looks like the game’s main villain will be Giancarlo Esposito (from Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian) who according to the PlayStation Store listing will play a character called Anton Castillo.
The game will apparently be set in the largest Far Cry playground to date which will span jungles, beaches and Esperanza (the capital city of Yara). You will ply as Dani Rojas who is a local to Yara.
Ubisoft Forward takes place on Monday morning at 5am AEST. It’s likely that we will see the reveal of the game there.
