Originally scheduled to release in February 2021, the developers of the Far Cry series Ubisoft confirmed that the Far Cry 6 and the Rainbow Six Quarantine titles have been delayed due to the Coronavirus-led pandemic. Later, we saw the Microsoft Store leak the alleged release date of the game. Recently, as per reports, Ubisoft has announced the official release date for the much-awaited Far Cry 6.
Ubisoft developers gathered in an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit where the team answered questions from the fans. During the session, the developers shared some interesting tidbits about their upcoming title under the Far Cry series, including the release date of the game. So, Far Cry 6 will officially release on October 7. However, some of the gameplay elements will not be included at launch.
Takedowns will return in FC 6 with better and polished animations. Speaking of things that are back, animal companions have made a comeback too. We spotted two in the official gameplay footage, Guapo, a man-eating alligator, and Chorizo, a little dog that can distract enemies during stealth runs. You can check out the video right below. However, be sure to skip to 29:47 to avoid staring at the countdown timer.
Other new features involve choices in story progression. Unlike the previous parts, this time the game won’t entirely play out in first-person. It will transition to the third-person for specific moments in combat when Dani Rojas (the primary playable character) enters guerilla camps.
