Ubisoft has now officially announced Far Cry 6 for release on 18th February 2021, following an earlier leak last week.
As we know already, the game stars Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian’s Giancarlo Esposito as its antagonist Anton Castillo, a brutal dictator who rules over the game’s Cuban-influenced setting.
The casting of Anton Castillo, star of Pixar film Coco, was also confirmed today. He plays Castillo’s 13-year-old son Diego: a boy unsure whether to follow in his father’s footsteps.

You play Dani Rojas, a guerrilla fighter trying to take down the presidency’s rule. It’s a character which can be played as either female or male.
While heavily based on Cuba, Far Cry 6 is set on the fictional island of Yara. Ubisoft describes the country as its most ambitious open world to date, with the series’ classic tropical beaches and jungles mixed in beside Esperanza, its sprawling capital city.
