Ubisoft has yet to announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak may have unveiled the first details of the next installment. According to Reddit users, the game’s narrative will revolve around a brutal power struggle within the wealthy Bennett family, drawing parallels to the themes explored 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 hatred for the elite fuels his ambitions. Other key characters include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, who may play crucial supporting roles.
Perhaps the most significant revelation is the rumored setting: New England. If the leak proves accurate, this would mark the first time the Far Cry series explores this region. Ubisoft has not confirmed these details, and as with any game in development, changes could alter the final product.
Insiders claim that New England was explicitly mentioned in casting calls, lending credence to the speculation about the location. This historic region of the U.S. encompasses six states, including Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, providing a fresh and dynamic backdrop for the franchise’s signature chaos.
Adding to the intrigue, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted that Far Cry 7 might be divided into two separate games, both scheduled for release in 2026.
