A new post-apocalyptic Far Cry game has been announced, and here is the very first trailer

Will Far Cry 6 have a post-apocalyptic theme?

Out of nowhere, Ubisoft has announced that new a Far Cry game is coming. The proper reveal will come at Thursday night’s 2018 Game Awards, but before then, they have revealed this mysterious trailer. It starts out on a shot of a barn, which somewhat resembles the rural American setting of this year's Far Cry 5. But it then quickly a mushroom cloud appears, and everything becomes engulfed in flames. And then we get close-ups of a hand attaching a circular saw to a crossbow. Take a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUz_dw0ew5k&feature=youtu.be Every Far Cry game has had a different setting, with new characters. In chronological order, we've gone from a Micronesian archipelago, to the African savannah, to a Pacific island, then the Himalayas, and finally rural Montana. A post-apocalyptic setting would be a good change of pace for the fifth installment. However, there has tended to be several years between games. What this feels more like are the spin-off times, such as the retro-futuristic Blood Dragon, or the prehistoric Primal. Plus, it's not hard to imagine an ending to Far Cry 5 where the Elder's Gate cult get their hands on a nuclear bomb, and do the unthinkable. We'll just have to wait for the Game Awards to find out - alongside the rumored Crash Team Racing announcement.
