Far Cry 7: New Plot and Setting Rumors Revealed

Ubisoft has yet to announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak may have revealed the first details of the next installment in the series. According to Reddit users, the game's narrative is set to revolve around a brutal power struggle within the wealthy Bennett family, drawing parallels to the themes seen in HBO's Succession.

The leaked character list includes family members Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. Among the villains, one name that stands out is Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a devoted following whose hatred for the elite fuels his ambitions. Other key characters include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who may play crucial supporting roles.

Perhaps the most intriguing detail from the leak is the rumored setting: New England. If these leaks prove accurate, it would mark the first time the Far Cry series ventures into this region. Ubisoft has not confirmed these details, and as with any game in development, changes could alter the final experience.

Insiders claim that New England was explicitly mentioned in casting calls, reinforcing speculation about the location. This historic region of the U.S., encompassing six states such as Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, offers a fresh backdrop for the franchise's signature chaos.

Adding to the speculation, industry insider Tom Henderson previously suggested that Far Cry 7 might be split into two separate games, both slated for release in 2026.
