We are keeping what is going on with Joseph Seed close to our chest, because there is much more to it than what we are showing right now. Does the game contain many of these call-backs and characters to the previous entry?ĭecant: There is plenty of that. XW: New Dawn‘s trailer shows some brief glimpses of characters from Far Cry 5, including Joseph Seed, Hurk, and Pasture Jerome. So combined with17 years of nuclear apocalypse, maybe it gave us an opportunity to create some weird animals… more bulky, more aggressive, almost like from the primal days. Lots of that Bliss was poured into Hope County back in the day. XW: In addition to the Highwaymen, it sounds like players will have to deal with some wildlife that’s been, er, altered?ĭecant: In Far Cry 5, there was the cult’s drug Bliss. And if you are in their way, it’s going to be very bad. They don’t feel like there is a tomorrow, so they live for the day. They are also scavengers, going from place to place, claiming all the resources for themselves. You’re either a problem maker or a problem solver, and you don’t want to be a problem maker. Jean-Sebastien Decant: They see the world with two categories of people. What can you tell us about them and their twin sister leaders Mickey and Lou? XW: Based on the new enemy faction, the Highwaymen, it sounds like players will need all the help they can get.
AD INFINITUM XBOX ONE UPGRADE
You can craft these new weapons, but if you’re in love with a specific existing weapon, you can still invest resources to upgrade its efficiency ad infinitum. But there’ also tiers of weapons, so when you upgrade the armory in Prosperity, you get the ability to reach a new rank of weapons. XW: What sort of makeshift weapons and gear can fans look forward to crafting?ĭecant: We have some brand-new weapons, like the saw blade launcher…it’s nasty and crazy. You can get some very rare resources in these snatch-and grab-missions. XW: These crafting elements are discovered in the world?ĭecant: Yes, but we also have Expeditions, the ability to go outside of Hope County and discover what happened in other places 17 years after the events. It’s a place in which you will invest in resources, and build, and get upgrades in return. Additionally, the whole progression of the game now evolves around Prosperity, the home-base. Gathering and crafting elements to make your weapons is going to be key. XW: How will this new world’s scarcer resources affect players and how they survive?ĭecant: People must make do with what they have, so makeshift weapons and vehicles are at the core of the game. So, there are plenty of places that you could discover again. But some things remain…the remnants of the statue of the Father are still there, and John Seed’s ranch has become the home-base “Prosperity” for the good guys. Will players still recognize it or any of its landmarks?ĭecant: The map has been transformed by the events, for sure, and some elements that were very recognizable are gone. XW: New Dawn takes place in Hope County, but it’s been transformed by time and nuclear war. At the same time, we’ve wanted to do a Far Cry in a post-apocalyptic city, so it was like, okay, we could finish in a dramatic fashion, and it would actually be the beginning of a brand new world and a brand new story. Jean-Sebastien Decant: We were toying with different scenarios for ending, and the doomsday was the most exciting one. Xbox Wire: New Dawn is interesting in that it works as a sequel to Far Cry 5, but also as a standalone post-apocalyptic entry in the series. Based on our one-on-one time with Decant, who served as FC5‘s narrative director, it seems fans will also face a new enemy faction – and find fresh ways to deal with them – and even reunite with some old Far Cry 5 friends.
Flowers are blooming, skies are blue, and survivors are rebuilding the once cult-controlled community.Īccording to Creative Director Jean-Sebastien Decant, however, New Dawn presents much more than a pretty, post-apocalypse populated by hopeful survivors. Picking up 17 years after the cataclysmic conclusion of Far Cry 5, New Dawn finds Hope County, Montana making a post-nuclear winter comeback.
