Hazelight Studios' endearing indie title, It Takes Two, won the Game of the Year award last year after beating equally deserving nominees like Metroid Dread, Deathloop, Psychonauts 2, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Resident Evil Village. However, it appears Ubisoft would like audiences to believe that Far Cry 6 was part of that elite list.
According to Aggiornamenti Lumia on Twitter, the Xbox database might have leaked info of a possible "Game of the Year" edition for Far Cry 6. The trusted industry insider also claims that Far Cry 6's incoming edition will launch along an expansion, "Lost Between Worlds".
If true, this would mark the first time that Ubisoft will release a "Game of the Year" edition for a Far Cry game.
Far Cry 6 came out last October to minimal fanfare and even caught the ire of PETA due to its inclusion of cockfighting, but it did have its fair share of memorable moments. For example, critics loved its villain, Anton Castillo, who was portrayed by none other than Giancarlo Esposito. Ubisoft also released a Season Pass for the game that let you play as previous villains like Vaas Montenegro, Pagan Min, and Joseph Seed.
