I guess the question of whether “will Giancarlo Esposito be good” is out the window. He always seems to knock performances out of the park. Really, it’s the legacy of Far Cry that’s at stake here. The first game revolutionized the first-person shooter, while the third cemented what’s know recognized as the Ubisoft formula for open-world games.

Will the sixth game finally upend the tower-climbing, bandit-camp-raiding, hunting loop that the last three titles and most Ubisoft games have adhered to? Ubisoft has claimed it would start reinventing some of its series, so there’s some hope that a true next-gen “Far Cry” might finally push the developers into new waters. It remains to be seen whether developing for the last-gen consoles might hold this title back in the same way it did “Cyberpunk 2077.” But for the most part, Ubisoft is pretty good at this thing. Let’s see if they can be better. — Gene Park
