The footage showed chunks of what we’ll see tonight, shorn of a lot of context. In the game you’re a guerilla fighter trying to topple dictator Antón Castillo. The Cuban-style setting mixes high-tech military installations and vehicles with classic cars and colonial backdrops.

It feels a bit wackier than past entries - and that’s saying something after the flourescent post-apocalypse ofFar Cry New Dawn. A lot of the weapons are built from spare parts, including a bunch of backpacks built to tote around special weapons. One includes a missile launcher, while another is a bizarre combination of a jet-pack and flamethrower. The player uses it to clear out an area around himself while boosting a few feet into the air. Stealthier players will probabably appreciate the CD player gun that plays music and also launches its discs at people. Someone dies to the Macarena. What? No! I’m not joking.

The pets are equally ad-hoc and weaponised. A crocodile with a gold tooth and t-shirt can be set on people, as can a wheelchair-bound dog sausage dog. The player is spotted trotting around on a horse as well. You can pet all three.

It’s also veryFar Cry. We’re six deep into the series so they’re not changing now. They’re just adding things to the chaotic open-world battles, and I’m kind of a sucker for it. More please. Forever.

The stream is going to behereat 5:30pm BST (or 9:30am PT). Just look surprised.Far Cry 6is still scheduled for releasesometime in 2021, after being delayed from its previous target in February. We should hopefully find out when tonight.
