Ubisoft's Far Cry series is one of the most iconic gaming franchises of the past decade. Far Cry 3, widely considered as the pinnacle of the series, introduced audiences to the unhinged Vaas Montenegro, setting the gold standard for a memorable villain for each subsequent installment with the likes of Pagan Min from Far Cry 4, Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5, and Anton Castillo from Far Cry 6.
Now, two years removed from the release of Far Cry 6, we're hearing rumblings about the potential next entry in the series, in particular, what its name could be and where it could be set.
According to the not-so-reliable internet cesspool that is 4chan, an anonymous poster claims that Far Cry 7 will take place in Korea with Ubisoft ditching the numbered names, simply naming it Far Cry: Rise.
Far Cry: Rise, according to this source, is set to take place on a presumably fictional tropical island nestled in the Yellow Sea near Korea. Shades of Far Cry 3's Rook Island, perhaps? The story, if the leaks hold true, has a somewhat familiar ring. Fans will once again find themselves pitted against a dictatorial antagonist, supposedly portrayed by actor Lee Jung-Jae, known for his role in Squid Game.
