The thing I’ve always found interesting about the Far Cry series is how the base games are always straightforward, “real world” shooters, but the post-release content invariably goes bonkers. Far Cry 3 set the standard withBlood Dragon, which was standalone but nonetheless established a weird-ass baseline that continued through Far Cry 4 (Valley of the Yetis), Far Cry 5 (Lost on Mars), and now a new Far Cry 6 expansion calledLost Between Worldsthat will send revolutionary hero Dani Rojas on a journey to a strange interdimensional realm in the company of a stranded alien.
The alien’s spacecraft has crashed on Earth, you see, and the alien—named Fai—apparently believes that Dani is responsible for bringing it down. Thus, she insists that Dani also help fix it. And since they’re both stuck in a twisted, un-Earthly version of Dani’s home of Yara until the repairs are made anyway, there’s no point in arguing.
Instead, Dani and her new pal will go on a quest for five lost shards hidden across 15 “challenging and intense trials” called Rifts: A fortress suspended in the sky, for instance, or an underwater city filled with deadly traps. Along the way they’ll discover new and powerful weapons and tools, collect energy fragments that will enable them to “revive and retry” Rifts, and do battle with hordes of crystalline humanoid and animal enemies called—I am not making this up—Shardfaces.
I assume this is a Shardface of the humanoid type.
“With multiple branching paths, platforming exploration, and intense moment-to-moment action, players will have a unique experience with each run as they master this twisted world,“Ubisoftsaid.
It sounds silly, yes, but this is a videogame and sometimes it’s okay to just kick back and have some silly fun.
Far Cry 6: Lost Between Worlds will be out on December 6, and will sell for $20/€20. Ubisoft also released a trial version of Far Cry 6 that includes all of the Isla Sanctuario missions for free, and rolled out anew updatefor the base game, free for all players, that adds a New Game+ mode, makes changes to the UI that improves progression tracking, and fixes a number of bugs that you can find detailed below.
