Far Cry 6’s DLC content
Far Cry 6will, over the course of its lifecycle, be releasing a lot of DLC that has already been announced. These DLC packs include a series of crossovers, both within theFar Cryfranchise and externally, but possibly the most intriguing isFar Cry 6’sVillains DLC. Unlike some of the other crossover content,Far Cry 6’sVillains DLCwill be made available exclusively through the season pass. It will include three missions based around pastFar Cryvillains, to be released over the coming few months. This has drawn much of the attention ofFar Cryfans, but it is not the only DLC fans should be on the lookout for.
Along withFar Cry 6’svillains DLC comes aremastered version ofFar Cry 3: Blood Dragon, also available through the season pass. This may appeal to long-termFar Cryfans in the same way the Villains DLC will, asBlood Dragonis well praised amongFar Cryplayers. The external crossovers, however, may be of interest to first timeFar Cryplayers, as plenty of familiar properties will be making their way into the game.
First up is Danny and Dani vs. Everybody, which introduces Danny Trejo to the fold as he teams up with Dani Rojas to deliver tacos across the island of Yara. Next up is Rambo All the Blood, which features an unknown superfan rather than Sylvester Stallone, but it should still prove interesting to fans of Rambo as it is described as a “blood-soaked rampage straight out of an 80’s blockbuster.” The final DLC sees Dani Rojas tasked with rescuing Chorizo,Far Cry 6’scanine Amigo, fromStranger Things’Upside Down.
Far Cry 6’s Joseph Seed DLC Explained
Far Cry 6has a lot of post-launch content planned, but forFar Cryfans, the Villains DLC may be as good as it gets. For fans ofFar Cry 5in particular, Collapse, starring Joseph Seed may be worth checking out.Far Cry 5’sJoseph Seed is definitely one of the more memorable villains in theFar Cryfranchise. His complicated motivations make him fit the mould of aFar Cryvillain well, while his story inFar Cry 5is something many fans will be looking forward to revisiting.
It looks like the character of Joseph Seed will be further analysed inFar Cry 6’sCollapse DLC. The trailer shows Joseph questioning whether he’s a part of a test or a dream before a demonic voice responds with “an opportunity.” The trailer then shows Joseph mowing down fire-spewing demons. The significance of these demons is not yet clear although the Villains DLC packs do appear to be a part of these iconic villains reliving past moments, so it’s possible that these are demons from Joseph’s past.
The player will be taking on these demons in a roguelite fashion, collecting weapons and skills as they go, but being careful not to die as progress resets upon death.Far Cry 6’sJoseph Seed DLC will hopefully add further backstory to one ofFar Cry’smost iconic villains.
Far Cry 6is available for PS4, PS5, PC, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
