Since its release back in October of last year,Far Cry 6has gained a significant amount of popularity. With its beautiful sweeping environments, a wide variance in weaponry and methods of approach, and a memorable storyline,Far Cry 6is certainly an ambitious title. Although, as is the case with most ambitious open-world games,Far Cry 6isn’t bereft of any technical drawbacks.
The advent of the seventh console generation allowed development studios to provide content updates and patches more immediately, as bugs and glitches have become more and more commonplace within the video game industry. Even technically impressive games likeGod of Warhave glitchesthat inevitably get addressed. However, in the matter ofFar Cry 6, this most recent glitch occurred during the middle of a cutscene.

A Reddit user named CortezOnline noticed thatDani Rojas' lips were pursed during an entire cutscene. While it’s not as wacky or out of place as some of the glitches that have occurred inCyberpunk 2077,for instance, it does break the composition of the scene quite a bit, to the point where the formation of Dani’s lips is the only thing the player can focus on during the cutscene.
Many players believe that bugs and glitches provide an additional level of entertainment value to any given game, which certainly has some truth to it. However, glitches can ultimately devalue the experience of any given game, because when all the player can focus on are the bugs and not the core content of the game itself, it lessens the impact of what the game wants the player to experience. There’s a reason why thebugs and glitches ofCyberpunk 2077hold it backquite a bit, to this day.
In terms of the Dani Rojas pursed lips bug, it’s possible that some players wouldn’t even notice something like this, given how minute it is. Although, considering that Dani’s lips aren’t shaped like that to begin with, seeing something like that could be quite jarring depending on the situation. It’s like ifAnton Castillohad a permanent smile on his face during every in-game appearance he makes.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what the future holds forFar Cry 6going forward. With theJoseph Seed DLCfinally released, the last piece of major DLC content left to release forFar Cry 6is theStranger Thingscrossover DLC. Considering how most of the DLC content has had strong ties to theFar Cryfranchise as a whole, aStranger Thingsthemed content should hopefully be a nice change of pace.
Far Cry 6is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
