The takedown of the article suggests that the claim holds some water, though all should be taken with a grain of salt. An official announcement has yet to be made by Ubisoft, the publisher behind theFar Cryseries.
This wouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, however.Far Cry 3starredBetter Call Saulactor Michael Mando as one of the series' best villains, Vaas. Then,Far Cry 4villain Pagan Min, was played by famed voice actor Troy Baker. Esposito portraying someone inFar Cry 6would be part of a logical progression.
Further, it would also be sensible for Esposito to portray the villain. TheFar Cryseries has become known for its villains, and Esposito has proven his prowess in acting as villains. Between his role as drug kingpin Gus Fring inBreaking BadandBetter Call Sauland Moff Gideon inThe Mandalorian, Esposito has a proven track record in playing cold and heinous characters.
Still,Far Cry 6has yet to receive an official announcement, which could come at theUbisoft Forwardthis month. So far, only rumors have indicated thatFar Cry 6is currently in development, including an additional report from Game Reactor, a tease by Mando, and multiple leaks suggestingFar Cry 6’s existence.
Far Cry 6would be joining a smaller launch schedule for Ubisoft, though.Assassin’s Creed: Valhallais slated to release around the time that the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 release, though Ubisoft hasn’t given concrete release dates for any of its other big-name titles likeBeyond Good & Evil 2andWatch Dogs Legionyet. However, Ubisoft’s presentation could change all of that very shortly.
Far Cry 6is rumored to be in development on non-designated platforms.
