Far Cry is an interesting franchise, in that it's probably the most "Ubisoft" of all with its multitude of radio towers and map screen dots, but it also excites people more than a lot of their other work.
This trailer for Far Cry 5 is pretty effective at setting up its world (as are the few character videos on their channel), with a Martin Sheen sounding villain, and as expected, the unveiling of an American cult as the antagonistic group of the game. According to the official description locals have risen up against the "fanatical doomsay cult" Project at Eden's Gate, "cut off from the rest of the world." You'll be part of the resistance, with the ability to recruit NPCs and animals (bears and cougars ar ementioned), and fool around with a map editor.
It'll drop on Feburary 27, 2018 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with a solo campaign and a co-op mechanic. I'm tentatively interested as I've really enjoyed the last few mainline games outside of Primal (which was alright at worst).
