Game Information
The game is a standalone successor to its predecessor, and takes place in Hope County, a fictional town in Montana. The main story revolves around Joseph Seed, a charismatic American preacher, who leads the Project at Eden's Gate, a doomsday cult, who have despotic rule over the area. Players control an unnamed junior deputy sheriff who becomes trapped in Hope County, and must work alongside factions of a resistance to liberate the county from Eden's Gate. Gameplay focuses on combat and exploration; players battle enemy soldiers and dangerous wildlife using a wide array of weapons. The game features many elements found in role-playing games, such as a branching storyline, and side quests. The game also features a map editor, a co-operative multiplayer mode, and a competitive multiplayer mode.Announced in early 2017, development on Far Cry 5 was extensive, and underwent several brainstorms before the team decided to return the game to domestic settings. The game was heavily inspired by several socio-political events in modern history, such as the Cold War and the September 11 attacks. The development team sought to capture the despondent social climate after the events and re-purpose it for the game. Developed and published solely by Ubisoft, its competitive multiplayer mode was also created in-house, with the company's worldwide studios gaining more creative input for Far Cry 5.
Every Far Cry begins with an escape, and Far Cry 5 is no different. However, here there’s a sense that it’s not just our hero, the Deputy, who’s escaping Eden Gate’s cult maniacs, but the series trying to escape its limitations. Far Cry 5 is running both from the ghosts of Far Crys past and the even more terrifying spectre of the ‘Ubigame’ – that cynical internet theory that all Ubisoft games are essentially the same.
