We are closing in on the release of the next major installment in Ubisoft's much-loved Far Cry series, Far Cry 6. We know the game's PC specs, and we've played the heck out of it. We've also spoken at length with members of the Ubisoft Toronto team. So we're a bit intimate with the whole affair.

And now, overnight Ubi has dropped all the info you need to know about the game's lengthy post-release content roadmap, which features some seriously cool pop-culture crossovers, and the re-release of a cult classic.



And this is relatively normal now. Ubsioft treats almost all of their premium products as live services for punters, with different tiers of investment, but largely the biggest takeaway is that the gaming giant's worlds don't readily come to an end after an initial credits roll. Especially for games of the open-world variety. Here's what it Ubi to share:

In addition to the Season Pass, which includes three DLC episodes where players will delve into the minds of legendary Far Cry villains, Far Cry 6 has revealed an extensive content roadmap to bring a steady stream of fresh content to the game following its release on October 7, 2021.

With the Season Pass, players will take control of the series’ most notorious villains: Vaas Montenegro, Pagan Min and Joseph Seed – all played by the original cast. Over the course of three DLC releases, players will embody a different villain struggling to escape the horrors of their own minds in a brand new “die and retry” experience inspired by the roguelite genre. Starting with nothing more than a pistol to defend themselves, players will need to find new weapons and unlock power-ups to become stronger and progress deeper into the depths of the villains’ psyches. Blending intense action and storytelling, each DLC will provide a unique opportunity to better understand each villain’s past, personal demons and motivations.

The Far Cry 6 Season Pass is included with the Far Cry 6 Gold, Ultimate and Collector Editions, and is available for purchase separately for $69.95. The Season Pass includes:

• Three DLC episodes, playable solo or co-op with a friend – even if they do not own the Season Pass.
