The reveal of Far Cry 6 isn’t the most surprising of revelations to come out of Ubisoft Forward, but it has proven to be one of the most memorable due to the interesting premise on display in its new trailer. Ahead of the big announcement, actor Giancarlo Esposito had already been reported to be working on the Ubisoft project, with a follow-up leak potentially revealing even more information about the then-unannounced title.
