After the announcement of the new Far Cry, a leak spreading through Twitter now shows the alleged cover and title of the new installment. The new Far Cry 6 is presumably called “New Dawn.” What lies behind it?
What is the name of the new Far Cry? It is presumably called “New Dawn,” which translates to “Neuanfang.” This fits a storyline that is supposed to take place after the explosion of a large bomb.
What does the cover show? The cover shows two women standing in the foreground with weapons. This includes the crossbow displayed in the trailer for the new installment. In the background, a man is tied to a wrecked car. The man at the car is presumably Joseph Seed, who took on the role of the villain “The Father” in Far Cry 5.
In the upper right corner, the logos indicate that there will be a 4K version and HDR for the Xbox One. “Xbox One X Enhanced” is also visible. This means: better performance, shorter loading times, and sharper resolutions on the Xbox One X.
What does this mean for the new “Far Cry” installment? Following this cover, the new Far Cry installment could follow up on Far Cry 5.
In the last mission, you were supposed to eliminate Joseph Seed when a large bomb struck, and the game ended. To this day, it is unknown how the story continues.
This could be what the new Far Cry will address: The new Far Cry could seamlessly pick up right at the end of Far Cry 5, when the bombs fell.
In the trailer, it already felt like the title would take place in a post-apocalyptic era. So after the explosion of a nuclear bomb.
Can we trust the leak? Of course, nothing is official and confirmed by Ubisoft yet. However, the title and image certainly fit a post-apocalyptic story. The artwork looks real and authentic. The Twitter account Wario64, which is currently spreading the cover, boasts almost 140k followers, but the content does not indicate a reliable source.
When will we find out if it’s true? The Video Game Awards are taking place tonight. We should learn more about a new Far Cry there.
