Ubisoft remains silent on Far Cry 7, but a recent casting call leak offers intriguing hints about the upcoming installment. Reddit users report a storyline centered on a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, mirroring the dramatic tension of HBO's "Succession."

The leaked cast includes family members Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. A prominent antagonist emerges: Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a dedicated following, whose resentment of the elite fuels his ambitions. Supporting roles may be filled by John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan.
The most surprising detail is the rumored setting: New England. This would mark a significant departure for the Far Cry series, venturing into uncharted territory. While Ubisoft hasn't confirmed this, casting calls reportedly mentioned New England explicitly, lending credence to the speculation. The diverse landscapes of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and other New England states could provide a captivating new environment for the franchise's signature brand of mayhem.
Adding another layer of mystery, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted at a potential split release for Far Cry 7, with two separate games possibly launching in 2026. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, these details remain unverified, and the final game may differ significantly from these early leaks.
