Far Cry 7: Leaked Plot and Setting Details Revealed

Ubisoft has yet to announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak may have given us a sneak peek into the next installment. According to Reddit users, the game's narrative will delve into a brutal power struggle within the wealthy Bennett family, drawing parallels to the intense family dynamics seen in HBO's Succession.

The leaked character list introduces us to several intriguing figures: Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. Among the antagonists, one name stands out—Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a devoted following whose hatred for the elite drives his dangerous ambitions. Other key characters include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who may play pivotal supporting roles in the unfolding drama.

Perhaps the most exciting revelation is the rumored setting: New England. If the leak holds true, this would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has not confirmed these details, and as with any game in development, changes could alter the final product.

Insiders have noted that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, lending credence to the speculation about the location. This historic region of the U.S., encompassing states like Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, promises a fresh and dynamic backdrop for the franchise's signature chaos.

Adding to the buzz, industry insider Tom Henderson has suggested that Far Cry 7 might be split into two separate games, both expected to launch in 2026.
