Far Cry 6’s season pass brings old villains to Yara

Add as a preferred source on Google

We got an extensive look at Far Cry 6 today at E3 during Ubisoft’s Forward event. Alongside a new trailer for the game, the developer revealed a season pass for the game, which will let players fill the shoes of past Far Cry antagonists including Vaas, Pagan Min, and Joseph Seed.

It’s not clear if each previous Far Cry antagonist will receive their own DLC or if they’re all bunched together. However, each DLC appears to come with each character fully voiced, meaning players can expect to hear more of Vaas’ and Joseph’s ramblings, along with Pagan’s egomania.

The Far Cry 6 season pass will also include a copy of Far Cry 3‘s campaign DLC, Blood Dragon.

Along with a look at Far Cry 6‘s post-launch content, today’s Ubisoft Forward presentation debuted a new trailer showing the game’s opening. In it, Dani Rojas, the game’s protagonist, is confronted on a boat by Anton Castillo, the tyrant of Yara. The boat, full of people trying to escape Castillo’s oppressive regime, is attacked by the dictator’s forces, leading to Dani joining up with freedom fighters.

Surprisingly, the trailer also featured Castillo’s son, Diego, who was trying to escape the island and his vicious father. It’s not clear yet how Diego will end up playing into the game’s story, but it seems like he’s not entirely on board with his father’s radical plans for the island of Yara.

Far Cry 6 is set to launch on October 7 for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC.

The AI game-dev boom has a dark side: fewer jobs for the people starting out
Solo creators are thriving with tools like Claude Code and Copilot, but entry-level game roles are disappearing.

AI is making it easier than ever for a single person to build a game. That sounds like a win for creativity, and in many ways, it absolutely is. But there is a catch. As generative AI tools help solo developers and small studios do more with fewer people, the same shift is making life tougher for writers, artists, concept creators, and junior programmers trying to break into the gaming industry.
