Far Cry 6 has been leaked on the PlaySation Store

Various rumors have been circulating for a while about the next installment in the Far Cry series. But things have accelerated a bit since Ubisoft announced its online event, the Ubisoft Forward, which will take place in just two days. It was widely expected that Far Cry 6 would be announced on this occasion, but that was before taking into account a huge leak that has just revealed a lot of information about the game.

It is through the Hong Kong Playstation Store that we discover Far Cry 6. The game page has been added, probably by mistake. It's not too surprising that we can see a first visual of the game where Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian) appears, since he revealed not too long ago that had participated in a major game to come, and everything pointed to Far Cry 6.

We also know that he will be in the game as Anton Castillo, the dictator of a tropical paradise called Yara, who is ready to do anything to restore the past glory of his nation. He obviously runs the country with an iron fist, accompanied by his son Diego, and that's something that has led to a revolution. In this context, we will play Dani Rojas, a resident of Yara, who will join the guerrillas to liberate the country from the yoke of the dictator.

The Playstation Store listing, which appears to have been deleted, also revealed that Far Cry 6 would offer the largest map seen in the series to date, including beaches, jungles, and other urban environments within the city of Esperanza, the capital of Yara.

It also seems that a free upgrade to a version for new generation consoles will be available to you if you own the game on current consoles. Finally, this leak even revealed very important information, the release date of Far Cry 6, which will is coming on February 18, 2021.

Of course, we will have to wait until the Ubisoft Forward to confirm all this information, but this new installment in the Far Cry series seems really promising.
