Where to Next for Far Cry? Hope is on the Wagon (Train)

AusGamers has continued their long-running, never quite consistent deep-dives on the Far Cry series, this time exploring where the series should go to next after Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn, and its both closer to home, and further away than you might think.

It would be cool to go to Mexico with the jungles, pyramids, and Aztec and such. Lots of areas to explore plus Danny Trejo is getting old... so..

[MAULxx]

I'd prefer a full Blood Dragon game.

[TricksterArrow]

Do we trust Ubisoft to make good choices still?

After the ending of Far Cry 5 maybe just reboot it and start from a tropical Island again

[SonyStyled]

What about set during WW2 in the Pacific, with the factions of Allied, Japanese, headhunting tribes and other native peoples that would help/hinder your journey

[-Foxtrot]

I like that but the thing is with Far Cry some of things that make it fun are modern guns, vehicles, contraptions

It’s like Red Dead vs GTA you always had a bit more fun in GTA because for example you could get around in so many ways, Red Dead though had a horse. It’s a small thing but it makes a difference.

I wouldn’t want to go back with Far Cry although maybe as a spin off / DLC sure

[Drw1989]

Personally (just my opinion ) I'd be happy if they went back to the like of the first one and where was about on you own a mass Island no factions but have focus on survival but work it around the story ; by that I don't mean crafting houses (traps maybe like recent Rambo) but more being hunted and having to get off the island and finding ways to stay alive and defend yourself...heck they could throw in some of the mechanics they were promising with the recent ghost recon like blending into the dirt and so forth.

What ever they do I hope they don't just copy and paste the formula with a few little gimmicks ...otherwise it's going to turn one of their decent FPS franchise very stagnant quickly ..

And you fight giant mutants.
The first one really was a strange game I preferred the first half much more on PC when it was a slow crawl through the jungle taking out Mercs

[Rare]

I know this isn't a popular opinion but I absolutely loved Primal and would throughly enjoy a FC Primal 2 on ps5

🙏🏻

[Razmiran]

Clearly we need to take over 18 bases on Antartida

[BioShockGX]

Start with using a new engine.
And maybe make it tps instead of fps? Or both.
Do something different this time.

[RaidenBlack]

TPS? Nah. They got Division and the new Ghost Recons for that. As well as AC. How many more do you want?

[PlayableGamez-]

Far Cry desperately needs a reboot.

[OneEyedSteve]

One thing they need to do is completely forget about Multiplayer, hardly anyone is bothered about that on this game series. Just focus on Single Player and Co-op. I would love it to be a full on Retro 80s theme.

[RaidenBlack]

Yea. Just pure offline SP and optional Co-op. None of that online only crap.
I want the next to be dark 70s themed Cold War-esque title.

[isarai]

After New Dawn and the new ghost recon i'm not interested in anything Ubisoft has to offer anymore.

[Hardiman]

I'd like to see the next one feature the mutations last seen in Far Cry Instincts. I really thought that was a cool take and maybe set it in Mexico, the Amazon or maybe change it up and go with Europe.

[AK91]

After Breakpoint I don't trust anything Ubisoft does anymore.

[RaidenBlack]

How about a Cold War European setting? Just imagine the raw grittiness of it all. Perfectly fits the Far Cry formula.

Whatever, it is, just bring back the gun gameplay from Far Cry 3 & 4. Hated the one in 5. Hate the way the protagonist holds the gun.
