Far Cry 5 Devs Team Up With Montana To Bring In More Tourism
Far Cry 5 brought cult-fueled chaos to the United States for the first time in the franchise’s history, taking players on a wild ride through the western lands of Montana. Now it seems that the state is using the title as a way to promote tourism to the great Big Sky Country.
To give a bit of a better perspective as to the location of Hope County on a real map, a quote early on in the game mentions being “a few hours” Southwest of Missoula and suggests that Hope County resides in what is known as the Bitterroot Mountain Range and Lolo National Forest. Taking advantage of the game, Southwest Montana has partnered up with Ubisoft in order to showcase the gorgeous land and wildlife that the served as the inspiration for Far Cry 5.
Hope County” may be fictitious, but the mountains, rivers and wildlife that inspired Far Cry 5 are very real and based on the landscape of Southwest Montana. Dig deeper into the visually stunning scenery that backdrops the game, and plan your own Montana adventure in the “Last Best Place.” Open trails and big skies await you in this magnificent region of the western United States. Welcome to Hope County!”
Far Cry 5 is available on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. A sequel for the title, Far Cry New Dawn, is set to release on February 15th of this year for the same consoles. The sequel aims to follow 17 years after the end of Far Cry 5 and follows a group of survivors attempting to rebuild Hope County after the fallout of the previous game.
