While Ubisoft has not yet announced Far Cry 7, a recent casting leak has surfaced on Reddit, potentially unveiling the first details of the next installment in the series. The narrative is rumored to center around a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, drawing parallels to the themes explored in HBO's hit series, Succession.

The leaked character list includes members of the Bennett family: Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa. The antagonists are led by Ian Duncan, described as a conspiracy theorist with a fervent following, driven by his disdain for the elite. Other notable characters include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who are expected to play significant supporting roles.

A major revelation from the leak suggests that the game might be set in New England, marking a first for the Far Cry series in exploring this region. Ubisoft has yet to confirm these details, and it's worth noting that development changes could alter the final product.

Insiders have mentioned that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, lending credence to the speculation about the setting. This historic area of the United States encompasses six states, including Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, providing a novel setting for the franchise's characteristic mayhem.

Adding to the buzz, industry insider Tom Henderson has hinted that Far Cry 7 could be divided into two distinct games, both expected to launch in 2026.
