Rumor: New Possible Details About the Plot and Setting of Far Cry 7

Ubisoft hasn't officially announced Far Cry 7, but whispers from a recent casting leak hint at a thrilling new chapter. Reddit users claim the game will center on a brutal power struggle within the wealthy Bennett family, mirroring the dramatic tensions of HBO's Succession.

Leaked character names include Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. The antagonist appears to be Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a fervent following whose disdain for the elite fuels his ambitions. John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan are also mentioned, likely playing significant supporting roles.

The most surprising revelation? The rumored setting: New England. This would mark a first for the Far Cry series, venturing into a historically rich region encompassing six states, including Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. While Ubisoft remains silent, insiders reportedly referenced New England directly in casting calls, bolstering the speculation.

Adding another layer of mystery, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted at a potential split release, suggesting Far Cry 7 might launch as two separate games in 2026. Naturally, all this remains unconfirmed, and the final game could differ significantly from these early leaks.
