In Far Cry 5, you will be rewarded for stunts that you can perform with the popular wingsuit. However, in the new game, towers are omitted.
The wingsuits were popular in previous installments of the Far Cry series and were often used by players to get from point A to point B. Whether the wingsuits will also be present in the fifth installment was initially unclear, as gameplay scenes did not show the cool flying aid.
During an interview, it was revealed that the wingsuit will indeed be present in Far Cry 5. However, you will not find the typical towers.
Wingsuit? Yes. Towers? No!
We have been prepared for the release of Far Cry 5 for a few weeks now. Initially with short trailers, then with gameplay material from E3. In the video, we already saw a little selection of weapons and cool NPC companions who support you on your adventures from the air or on the ground.
However, wingsuits were not seen in the trailers. They were already present in Far Cry 3 and 4, and fans were wondering if they would make a comeback in the fifth installment. This question from the community was posed by YouTuber RajmanGaming to Executive Producer Dan Hay in an interview.
Initially, he wasn’t sure if he could even talk about the feature. But then he said “Fuck it! Yes, the wingsuits are coming back!”
In addition, Hay hints at a connection between stunts with the wingsuit and a famous stuntman from Montana. Through the stunts, you can pay tribute to the mentioned stuntman. It likely refers to Evel Knievel.
Towers will not be present in Far Cry 5. Dan Hay explained in an interview with Gamespot that they want to deviate from the “norm” and show that not all Ubisoft games must always have the same base functions.
Fans are now wondering how the maps will function without getting the information from the towers. Bell towers in the fourth installment revealed parts of the map or unlocked new missions.
For Far Cry 5, the developers must have thought of an interesting alternative. We look forward to more news on this!
