Far Weep 6 was revealed last year at one of Ubisoft'southward online events; nonetheless, we really haven't seen much of the game in action. That all changed today as the developers pulled dorsum the curtain and gave the world its showtime wait at Far Cry 6'southward gameplay. Of course, it was generally short clips of action and lots of people talking, but it did provide some intriguing details for series fans. Plus, the whole thing ended with the reveal that the game is coming on October 7.

The latest Far Cry is set in Yara, a faraway island that'south been frozen l years in the past subsequently a fierce revolution cut it off from the rest of the globe. Y'all'll play every bit a guerrilla fighter trying to take on the evil regime running the island. That guerilla spirit is in full consequence with the weaponry and vehicles you lot'll have at your disposal.

Don't wait to have top-of-the-line equipment when you enter a fight. Instead, you'll take to rely on black marketplace dealings and some good onetime-fashioned ingenuity. Out of everything shown off in the trailer, this function is the nearly heady. Sure, seeing a gun that shoots CDs while playing "Hey Macarena!" is incredibly dumb, but several of the weapons the developers gave us a look at today seem similar a ton of fun to play with in the open globe.

From a recycled motorcycle engine that powers a minigun to a gun that shoots relatively silent sardine cans, the gun design goes a long way to imbue that feeling of being a fighter strapped for resources. This goes even farther with the different backpacks seen in the trailer. Those things look like they've been slapped together from nothing simply permit you lot burn rocket barrages or give yous fuel for a flamethrower. There'southward even one that turns into a homemade jetpack.

All of this adds up to a first-look trailer with a ton of promise. Again, they didn't actually bear witness the game in action that much. It'due south just a series of snippets to give you a taste. However, we should start to run across the game in bigger chunks over the coming months.
