Ubisoft remains mum on Far Cry 7, but a recent casting call leak hints at a potential storyline and setting. Reddit users report the game will center on a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, mirroring the plot of HBO's "Succession."

Leaked character names include Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. The antagonist appears to be Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a large following whose resentment of the wealthy fuels his schemes. John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan are also mentioned as potentially significant characters.
The most surprising detail is the rumored setting: New England. This would mark a first for the Far Cry franchise. While unconfirmed by Ubisoft, casting calls reportedly made explicit reference to New England, lending credence to the rumor. The diverse landscapes of New England's six states (including Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts) could provide a unique setting for the series' signature brand of mayhem.
Adding another layer of mystery, industry insider Tom Henderson previously speculated that Far Cry 7 might be divided into two separate releases, both potentially arriving in 2026. As always, these are rumors, and the final product may differ significantly.
