Ubisoft has yet to announce Far Cry 7, but a recent casting leak may have given us the first tantalizing details of the next installment. According to discussions on Reddit, the game’s narrative is set to revolve around a brutal power struggle within the wealthy Bennett family—a theme that echoes the dramatic tensions seen in HBO’s Succession.

The leaked character list includes intriguing names like Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. As for the antagonists, 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 exciting revelation is the rumored setting: New England. If this leak holds true, it 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 experience.
Insiders claim that New England was explicitly mentioned in casting calls, adding weight to the speculation about the location. This historic region of the U.S., encompassing states like Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, offers a fresh and dynamic backdrop for the franchise’s signature chaos.
Adding to the intrigue, industry insider Tom Henderson previously suggested that Far Cry 7 might be split into two separate games, both slated for release in 2026.
