While Ubisoft has yet to officially announce Far Cry 7, a recent casting leak shared by Reddit users has potentially unveiled the first details of the next installment in the beloved series. The narrative is rumored to center around a fierce power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, drawing parallels to the dramatic themes seen in HBO's hit series, Succession.

The leaked character list introduces us to key members of the Bennett family: Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. On the antagonist side, the name Ian Duncan stands out—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 in the unfolding drama.
Perhaps the most exciting revelation from the leak is the rumored setting: New England. If these details hold true, it would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has not yet confirmed these leaks, and as with any game in development, the final product could differ significantly from early rumors.
Insiders have noted that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, lending credence to the speculation about the game's location. 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 another layer of intrigue, industry insider Tom Henderson has hinted that Far Cry 7 might be released as two separate games, both expected to launch in 2026. As fans eagerly await official news, these leaks offer a tantalizing glimpse into what could be the next chapter in the Far Cry saga.
