Rumors of Far Cry 7: A New England Power Struggle?

While Ubisoft remains silent on Far Cry 7, recent casting leaks hint at a thrilling new chapter. Reddit users suggest the game will center on a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, mirroring the dramatic tensions of HBO's Succession.

Leaked character names include Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. A prominent antagonist is Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a large following, whose anti-elite sentiment fuels his ambitions. John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan are also mentioned, possibly as significant supporting characters.

The most surprising detail? The potential setting: New England. This would mark a first for the Far Cry series. Casting calls reportedly mentioned New England explicitly, bolstering this speculation. The region's six states – including Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts – offer a unique and historically rich environment for the franchise's signature brand of mayhem.

Adding another layer of mystery, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted at a potential two-game release for Far Cry 7, both anticipated in 2026. Ubisoft has yet to confirm any of these details, and as always, the final product may differ from these early leaks.
