Ubisoft hasn't officially announced Far Cry 7, but whispers from a recent casting leak suggest the next installment might be a thrilling ride. Reddit users claim the game will center on a brutal power struggle within the wealthy Bennett family, mirroring the dramatic tensions of HBO's Succession.

Leaked character names include Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. The villain? Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a fervent following, whose disdain for the elite fuels his ambitions. John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan are also mentioned, potentially as significant supporting characters.
The most surprising detail? The rumored setting: New England. This would mark a first for the Far Cry series, venturing into a historically rich region encompassing six states, including Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. While unconfirmed by Ubisoft, insiders claim New England was explicitly mentioned in casting calls, lending credence to the speculation.
Adding another layer of mystery, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted that Far Cry 7 might be split into two separate games, both potentially launching in 2026. Until Ubisoft makes an official announcement, however, all of this remains firmly in the realm of speculation, and the final game could differ significantly.
