Ubisoft has yet to announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak may have unveiled the first details of the upcoming installment. According to Reddit users, the narrative will revolve around a brutal power struggle within the affluent Bennett family, drawing parallels to the themes seen in HBO's Succession.

The leaked character list includes Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. Among the villains, one name stands out—Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a devoted following, whose disdain for the elite fuels his ambitions. Other key characters mentioned are John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who may play crucial supporting roles.
Perhaps the most intriguing revelation is the rumored setting: New England. If the leak holds true, this would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has not yet confirmed these details, and as with any game in development, changes could alter the final experience.
Insiders claim that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, lending credibility to the speculation about the location. This historic area of the U.S., encompassing states like Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, could offer a fresh and exciting backdrop for the franchise’s renowned chaos.
Adding to the excitement, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted that Far Cry 7 might be released as two separate games, both expected in 2026.
