Ubisoft has yet to officially announce *Far Cry 7*, but a recent casting leak may have given us a sneak peek into what the next installment could entail. According to enthusiastic Reddit users, the game's narrative is set to delve into a brutal power struggle within the affluent Bennett family—a plot that echoes the intense family dynamics seen in HBO's *Succession*.

The leaked character list introduces us to several members of the Bennett clan: Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. As for the antagonists, one name stands out—Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a fervent following, whose disdain for the elite drives his dangerous ambitions. Other notable characters include John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan, both of whom are expected to play pivotal supporting roles.
Perhaps the most exciting revelation from the leak is the rumored setting: New England. If these rumors hold true, it would mark the first time the *Far Cry* series explores this region. Ubisoft has not yet confirmed these details, and as with any game in development, changes could alter the final product.
Insiders have pointed out that New England was specifically mentioned in casting calls, lending credence to the speculation about the game's location. This historic area of the United States encompasses six states, including Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, which could provide a refreshing and dynamic backdrop for the franchise's signature blend of action and chaos.
Adding another layer of intrigue, industry insider Tom Henderson has hinted that *Far Cry 7* might be divided into two separate games, both of which are reportedly set to launch in 2026.
