Although Ubisoft has not officially announced Far Cry 7, a recent casting leak may have unveiled the initial details of the highly anticipated next installment. According to discussions on Reddit, the game's narrative is rumored to center around a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, drawing thematic parallels to HBO's hit series Succession.

The leaked character list includes members of the Bennett family: Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa. Among the potential antagonists, Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a fervent following, emerges as a significant figure. His disdain for the elite drives his sinister ambitions. Other characters expected to play crucial roles include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan.

Perhaps the most intriguing detail from the leak is the rumored setting: New England. If confirmed, this would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has yet to verify these details, and as is common in game development, the final product may differ significantly.

Insiders have pointed out that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, lending credibility to the speculation about the location. This historic U.S. region encompasses six states, including Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, providing a novel setting for the series' characteristic mayhem.

Adding further intrigue, industry insider Tom Henderson has suggested that Far Cry 7 might be released as two separate games, both expected to launch in 2026.
