You can't find Pennywise the clown himself in Far Cry 5, but there are several subtle Easter eggs referencing Stephen King's It, primarily a single red balloon near a sewer pipe in Holland Valley, referencing Pennywise's iconic calling card, with other mentions in haunted areas. Shooting the balloon or exploring the surrounding haunted house areas won't make Pennywise appear; it's just a nod to the horror novel.
Much like its predecessor Far Cry 4, there is a secret ending in the first mission of the game. Right at the moment when the Junior Deputy is directed to arrest Joseph Seed, if the player instead ignores the command prompt and waits idly at the scene for a total of 5 minutes, a secret ending will play out.
Joseph Seed. Joseph Seed is a fictional character from Ubisoft's Far Cry video game franchise. He appears as the primary antagonist of the 2018 title, Far Cry 5, and was extensively featured in promotional material for the game.
Joseph survived the nuclear holocaust and waited out the nuclear fallout in Dutch's Bunker along with the Junior Deputy. At some point, it's revealed that the Deputy started to believe in Joseph and wanted to be cleansed.
Far Cry 5. Bliss is a drug used in Far Cry 5 by the Project at Eden's Gate to convert people to their cause and increase their numbers. The principal ingredient appears to be a plant called moonflower (Datura), a plant with white flowers that has hallucinogenic properties.
Far Cry 6. The post-credits scene of Far Cry 6 features one of the main characters, Juan, talking to an unnamed smuggler voiced by Michael Mando. The character is strongly implied to be Vaas, who somehow survived the events of Far Cry 3.
If the Walk Away option is chosen, Joseph forgives the Deputy and will immediately release the their original group. One might think that "friends" includes all allies, but in reality, only Staci Pratt, Joey Hudson and Earl Whitehorse are allowed to go.
Plot. Far Cry 6 takes place in 2021 in Yara, a fictional Caribbean island nation inspired by Cuba ruled by the dictator Antón Castillo (Giancarlo Esposito).
“Hope County” may be fictitious, but the mountains, rivers and wildlife that inspired Far Cry 5 are very real and based on the landscape of Southwest Montana.
1. The Last of Us. In a hostile, post-pandemic world, Joel and Ellie, brought together by desperate circumstances, must rely on each other to survive a brutal journey across what remains of the United States.
Yes, Far Cry 6 features several prominent LGBTQ+ characters, including the transgender DJ and rebel leader Paolo de la Vega, who fights for freedom and against transphobia, and Rosa Mel Paquete, the drag queen alter ego of spymaster Gilberto Rosario, alongside other queer allies and background characters, making LGBTQ+ representation a significant part of the game's narrative about revolution and equality.
If the player refuses to say "Yes", an enraged John will angrily throw a table and choose to start with the Deputy but also removes Hudson from the room. Both options give the Deputy enough time to escape.
The AR-C is a fictional weapon, primarily based on a Mega Arms MATEN . 308 Winchester (7.62mm NATO) ambi billet receiver (hence the lack of a forward assist, which AR-10 pattern weapons like the MATEN often do not have) with the larger . 308 magwell swapped for a . 223 / 5.56mm one.
Pagan tells Ajay they are now his to do with as he pleases. This is likely meant to explain the ending of Far Cry 5, where Montana is bombarded by nuclear missiles. Whether or not it was Ajay, Sabal, or Amita who discovered and launched the missiles is unknown.
If this game were to be rated by the MPA it would be rated R for strong frenetic violence and gunplay throughout, including grisly images, drug content, strong language and some sexual references.
While there's no single "most" anticipated game, 2025 is packed with major releases like Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Remake, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Grand Theft Auto VI, The Witcher IV, Doom: The Dark Ages, and Death Stranding 2, alongside new entries like Fable, Borderlands 4, and the sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, making it a huge year for RPGs, stealth, and action titles across platforms.
Far Cry 5 sparked controversy for tackling American themes like religious extremism, militia culture, and right-wing fanaticism in the heartland (Montana), a shift from previous exotic locales, leading to accusations of being anti-American or trivializing serious issues. Critics were divided: some felt it failed to engage meaningfully with its heavy political and social themes, presenting a shallow critique, while others found its depiction of a white, Christian-adjacent cult as villains controversial in itself, especially given the game's focus on American domestic issues rather than foreign enemies.
Jacob brainwashes people as well using "classical conditioning" to make a music a trigger to a homicidal fugue. Subjects are often caged or, initially, tied to chairs for conditioning, and sometimes starved for days on end to force them into a bestial, receptive mindset.
Hurk does not appear in Far Cry 6, which makes it the first game since Hurk's first appearance in Far Cry 3 where he does not appear (if not counting Far Cry Primal). However, he sends Boomer to Yara along with a letter where he tells Boomer wasn't safe anymore in Hope County.
Sabal is one of the deuteragonists of Far Cry 4. Along with Amita, he is one of the leaders of the Golden Path. Unlike Amita, who wishes to modernize the people of Kyrat, he is more interested in preserving Kyrati traditions and continuing with the old ways.
