ABOUT THE GAME

Far Cry New Dawn is a 2019 first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is a spin-off and sequel to Far Cry 5, and the eleventh overall installment in the Far Cry series. Set seventeen years after one of the possible endings of Far Cry 5, which saw the fictional Hope County, Montana, being devastated by a nuclear exchange known as "the Collapse", the game follows a group of survivors as they attempt to rebuild their community and defeat a gang of vicious bandits. Players assume the role of an unnamed security captain who, like Far Cry 5's deputy sheriff, is silent and highly customizable. Far Cry New Dawn retains most of the series' gameplay elements, including a large open world modeled after Far Cry 5's map, AI or co-op companions, and the capturing of enemy outposts. It also introduces several elements from the role-playing genre, such as an upgradeable home base and increased reliance on crafting items from limited supplies. The game was released worldwide for the PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on February 15, 2019. It received generally mixed reviews, with praise for its gameplay and criticism for its narrative and similarities to Far Cry 5, and had lower sales than both Far Cry 5 and Far Cry Primal.
