Why Far Cry fans shouldn’t bet against Ubisoft’s supposedly bold approach to FC7

One of Far Cry 7’s rumored gameplay mechanics would mark a major change for the series, but would be right in line with the tweaks made to Ubisoft’s other famous franchises.

The DLC for Far Cry 7 should be based on FC3: Blood Dragons Playbook

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was one of the best and most unique expansions in the series

In addition to the fact that they are often among the highest rated Far away Entries, Far Cry 3 offered the players after the first success another treat in the form of Blood Dragon. Somewhat unexpectedly released as a standalone DLC expansion, Blood Dragon took a strip Far Cry 3‘s map, covered it in neon ’80s cyberpunk flair, and framed it in a perfectly kitschy campaign full of witty and humorous references, all while giving players a set of futuristic weapons and tools to go wild with.

Actor Michael Biehn, famous for his roles as action figures of the 80s and 90s such as Kyle Reese in Terminator and Lt. Hicks in Aliensportrayed, among other things, the protagonist Rex “Power” Colt, an even more exaggerated version of an overzealous super soldier in the “dark distant future of 2007”. With its exaggerated story excesses combined with the tight gameplay of Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon was all in all a surprising and satisfying experiment that offered an excellent experience that FC hasn’t really been replicated or attempted since then.

Far Cry 6The DLCs were a selection of smaller scenarios that included some notable crossovers with other IPs, such as Rambo And StrangerThings. Both are deeply rooted in the culture and iconography of the 80s, giving them a weak connection to the spirit of Blood Dragon. Its most extensive DLC dealt with the villains of the last three games, Vaas Montenegro, Pagan Min and Joseph Seed, in roguelike modes, and while these were quite interesting, they didn’t offer that much in terms of breaking out of FC6‘s core in the way Blood Dragon has for FC3.

Blood DragonThe legacy of remains strong, and although so much time has passed since its release, Far Cry 7 might try to emulate his vision for the modern era. Far Cry 7 DLC does not necessarily have to be a direct Blood Dragon sequel (though that would probably be welcome too), but it should aim to recapture the creativity and energy of its predecessor and show how a larger and more focused DLC could make the most of the building blocks of the main title, including any updates or restructuring of the formula to give them a fresh and satisfying twist.

Far Cry 6
