Far Cry 5
About Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 is Ubisoft's open-world first-person shooter set in the fictional Hope County, Montana. Players build a resistance movement against Joseph Seed, leader of a fanatical religious cult called Eden's Gate, and his charismatic lieutenants known as the Heralds. True to series tradition, it offers a wildlife-filled, huntable open world, vehicle variety (planes, boats, ATVs), and the 'Guns for Hire' AI companion system (including animal companions like a bear and a cougar). As the first Far Cry game set in rural America rather than the series' typical tropical or remote settings (Himalayas, Africa), it offers a familiar yet tension-filled environment distinct from its predecessors.
