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

Ubisoft remains silent on Far Cry 7, but a recent casting call leak hints at the next chapter's plot. Reddit users report the game centers on a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, mirroring the dynamics 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 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 is the potential setting: New England. This would mark a first for the Far Cry franchise. While unconfirmed by Ubisoft, casting calls reportedly mentioned New England directly, lending credence to the rumor. The region's six states—including Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts—offer a unique and potentially thrilling setting for the game's signature brand of mayhem.

Adding another layer of speculation, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted at a possible two-part release for Far Cry 7, both anticipated in 2026. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, however, these details remain unverified and subject to change during development.
