Of the many highly anticipated titles releasing this year,Far Cry 6is one that many in the gaming community have had their eye on for a while now. With a brand new narrative and setting, populated with new characters, weapons, and environments, players will certainly have a lot to sink their teeth into whenFar Cry 6releases. However, what might surprise some fans of the series is thatFar Cry 6will apparently feature post-game content.
An unfortunate pitfall that a number of AAA open world games tend to suffer from is a lack of end game content. Often times, once the main story is complete, all the player will be left to do is side content that wasn’t previously done during the main game. TheFar Cryseries is no exception to this, with games likeFar Cry 3leaving players with this barren open world with nothing left to do, once the player has beaten the main story.

Fortunately, that doesn’t appear to be the case withFar Cry 6. During an interview with YouTuber JoRaptor, lead game designer, David Grivel, mentions that there will be “something else” for players to do once the main story content has been completed. Grivel would later go on to state that more specific information would be revealed during the Ubisoft Forward event that would take place atE3 2021.
This “something else” that Grivel mentions could mean a lot of things. There are plenty of games that provide ways in which the player can continue to experience the game, even after the game is technically done. For instance, inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, once players finish the Dark Brotherhood quest line, the game will continue to provide the player with assassination contracts even after the storyline of the side quest has wrapped up.
Right now, it’s impossible to know what the end game content will look like in terms ofFar Cry 6. While fans of the series have been given quite a lot of information to work with already, such asFar Cry 6having a notoriety systemthat allows enemies to recognize the player, there’s still a lot of questions left to answer.
From what has been shown, it’s clear thatFar Cry 6looks to expand upon the previous entries in the franchise. Many players are looking forward to having afully voiced protagonist inFar Cry 6, whose story will hopefully be more involved compared to those of otherFar Cryprotagonists. However, the arrival of post-game content will be sure to give fans of the series a lot more to do and accomplish within the game.
Far Cry 6launches October 7 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
