Ubisoft has yet to announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak may have unveiled the first details of the next installment in the series. According to Reddit users, the game's narrative will center around a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, drawing parallels to the themes explored in HBO's Succession.

The leaked character list includes 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 disdain for the elite drives his ambitions. Other pivotal characters include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who may serve in crucial supporting roles.
Perhaps the most exciting revelation is the rumored setting: New England. Should the leak hold true, this would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has not yet confirmed these details, and it's worth noting that development changes could alter the final product.
Insiders claim 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 exciting backdrop for the franchise's signature chaos.
Adding to the intrigue, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted that Far Cry 7 might be divided into two separate games, both scheduled for release in 2026.
