A series of leaks on Reddit have ignited the rumour mill surrounding Ubisoft’s renowned first-person shooter series, Far Cry. An anonymous tipster on the popular subreddit r/GamingLeaksAndRumours has recently hinted at the possible development of a new Far Cry instalment, potentially titled “Far Cry: Rise”. However, it’s worth emphasizing that this information is yet to be officially confirmed and should be taken as speculative.
According to the mysterious insider, Far Cry: Rise might take players to an isolated tropical island named Kimsan, nestled in the Yellow Sea. This leak suggests a return to the series’ roots, echoing the exotic island settings of earlier titles. But some fans on Reddit have already voiced their disappointment, longing for a fresh environment after several games set in similar locales.

The narrative thread, as per the anonymous source, throws players into a struggle against North Korean insurgents. What adds an intriguing twist to this plot is the involvement of a key character allegedly played by Lee Jung-jae, who gained international fame through the hit series, Squid Game. Players would have the choice to navigate this perilous journey as a male or female Korean pop star, with the goal of surviving the insurgency and safeguarding their sibling.
In addition to this, the main storyline of Far Cry: Rise is rumoured to feature cooperative gameplay for up to four players. If true, this would enhance the game’s social aspects and provide a more immersive shared experience.
There’s also talk about a unique open-world extraction mode, referred to as “Far Cry: Conquest”, being launched simultaneously with the main game. This mode reportedly immerses players in narrative-driven missions while challenging them to outlast 90 other opponents in a survival setting.
