And the information was released by a leak from the Playstation Store that has already traveled around the world.

“As Yara’s dictator, Anton Castillo tries to restore glory of his nation at all costs, with his son, Diego, following his bloody steps. His ruthless oppression started a revolution “: with this argument, the game places us again in the tropics. Under the orbit of a dictator.
In the game we will handle Dani Rojas, a Yara local that became a guerilla fighter ready to liberate the country, which confirms Anton – Esposito’s role – as the antagonist of the story.

In the game he plays Vaas Montenegro, the antagonist.
On the other hand, in the gamer environment it was already known that Far Cry 6 would move away from the setting of Far Cry 5, in the United States, and that it would return to exotic landscapes as in previous installments.
