Although leaks and rumors have yet to be confirmed by Ubisoft, if they’re to be believed,Far Cry 7is headed in an exciting new direction with its location. As the wait for Ubisoft to officially confirm the game continues, some notable leaks have suggestedFar Cry 7is headed to Korea for its next installment.
TheFar Cryfranchise has had a long and varied history. Now, with 20 years worth of games under its belt,Far Cryis potentially getting a seventh mainline entry. AfterFar Cry 6arguably felt a little limp in its delivery and story, the franchise is in need of a fresh start with a change of pace, and the rumors surroundingFar Cryand its potential Korean setting could be just what the series needs.
Far Cry 7 Korea Rumors
These rumors started last year. During July 2023, an anonymous insider took to the internet to share what they claimed was legit informationregardingFar Cry 7. Although the post was eventually taken down, plenty of readers were able to save the post’s information, with one of the most exciting details being a potential scenery change in Korea.
A Korean Island Taken Over by Insurgents
According to the anonymous source,Far Cry 7may be set on an island known as Kimsan, located off the coast of Korea. The leaks claim that the island of Kimsan has been taken over by North Korean insurgents who are holding the protagonist’s family captive. There is a lot ofhope forFar Cry 7’s villain, and the rumored North Korean insurgents are speculated to be led by a leader known as Choi Sang-Pil who may be played bySquid Game’s Lee Jung-Jae.Far Cryis no stranger to using major actors in its games, but there has yet to be any solid confirmation on this.
Far Cry 7’s Protagonist and Plot
Not only have leaks come from anonymous insiders, but more reputable sources, like Insider Gaming, have also revealed someintel aboutFar Cry 7. Leaks about the game’s main plot suggest that players will be tasked with saving the protagonist’s family members from a group known as the Sons of Truth, while only having 72 hours to do so. Although these leaks didn’t outright mention anything about the original Korea rumors, a game centered around a protagonist fighting to save their family from rogue insurgents isn’t outside the realm of possibility for aFar Crytitle. The details of these leaks could tie in very well with the Korea rumors.
Far Cry 7 Rumors in the Spotlight
These Korea rumors are incredibly intriguing, but they aren’t even the most recent rumors regardingFar Cry 7. A cryptic message from an Ubisoft insider involved a tweet that featured a picture of Cillian Murphy, a bomb with a 72-hour timer, a giant crab, and the number 7. This tweet quickly started rumors claiming Cillian Murphy would be the star ofFar Cry 7, but that has since beendebunked by the Ubisoft insider. However, this mysterious tweet raises a lot of questions that are bound to create more rumors as the wait continues.
Based on the pictures ofOppenheimer’s Cillian Murphy and the bomb, perhaps players will have 72 hours to stop the North Korean insurgents from detonating a nuclear bomb while also having to save their family members. The inclusion of the crab also gives some weight to the rumored island theme.Whatever routeFar Cry 7explores, the next chapter will hopefully break traditions in order to help the series evolve.
