The Far Cry 6 story trailer confirms just how awful Anton Castillo really is

With so many "good" villains in the games that preceded it, Far Cry 6 has a lot to live up to. Although we'll have no idea just how good Giancarlo Esposito's Anton Castillo is going to be, we already know from the story trailer that he has no place on Earth.

As the tyrannical ruler of Yara, Castillo isn't above reinforcing his rule using extreme measures. He's even seen putting a gun into his son's hand, turning him into a murderer at a young age. This alone would've been enough to condemn Castillo, but he does far worse things.

For one thing, Castillo maintains an iron grip on Yara because its scientists have discovered an effective cure for cancer, from the tobacco crops grown on the island.

This is all fine and dandy until you realize that the reason why he enslaved the people of the island and why he is so rich is that he is profiteering from all their hard work. He keeps everyone on a tight leash because he knows just how valuable of a resource Yara has. The trailer even shows him killing a boat full of people for no apparent reason, which is just downright evil.

With all that's happened so far, you can't exactly blame the citizens of Yara for taking up arms. The story trailer does an excellent job at giving players extra motivation to play Far Cry 6 to know more about the story.

It'll definitely be interesting to see the debates, following the game's release on October 7, as to where Anton Castillo ranks among Far Cry villains. We have a feeling that he's going to rank near the top. Then again, who knows? Maybe the villains can just settle who's the worst of them all among themselves via the Season Pass?
