Ubisoft has yet to announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak may have revealed the first details of the next installment. According to Reddit users, the game's narrative will revolve around a brutal power struggle within the wealthy Bennett family—echoing the themes of HBO's Succession.

The leaked character list includes Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. As for the villains, one name stands out—Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a devoted following, whose hatred for the elite fuels his ambitions. Other key characters include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who may play crucial supporting roles.
Perhaps the most exciting revelation is the rumored setting: New England. If the leak proves true, this would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has not confirmed these details, and as with any game in development, changes could alter the final experience.
Insiders claim that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, adding weight to speculation about the location. This historic region of the U.S., encompassing six states like Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, provides a fresh and dynamic backdrop for the franchise's signature chaos.
Adding to the intrigue, industry insider Tom Henderson previously suggested that Far Cry 7 might be split into two separate games, both slated for release in 2026.
