Details of the game are scarce, the YouTube description reads: “Welcome to Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time. As the dictator of Yara, Anton Castillo is intent on restoring his nation back to its former glory by any means, with his son, Diego, following in his bloody footsteps. Their ruthless oppression has ignited a revolution.”
Additionally, the leaked PlayStation Store listing described the land of Yara as “the largest Far Cry playground to date across jungles, beaches and Esperanza the capital city of Yara.”
The reveal came part of the Ubisoft Forward event, a showcase looking at the company’s future titles including an in-depth gameplay demonstration of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion. Both games were also accompanied with a release date.
Ubisoft is one of many companies bringing many gaming announcements over the summer. Since the cancellation of E3, developers have been creating their own presentations to announce upcoming games. Microsoft is set to be the next company with an Xbox Games Showcase taking place next week (July 23), looking at titles coming to the Xbox Series X such as Halo Infinite.
