Ubisoft released today a new trailer for Far Cry: New Dawn that showcases more of the game’s story and gameplay.
Far Cry: New Dawn is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Far Cry 5 that debuted last year. New Dawn will still take place in the post-apocalyptic Hope County, Montana, where the remaining populace has gathered into different groups, each with their own rules for survival.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Ubisoft:
Seventeen years after a global nuclear catastrophe, civilization re-emerges from the chaos to find a world dramatically changed. In a post-apocalyptic Hope County, Montana, the remaining populace has gathered into different groups, each with their own rules for survival.
In this new world order, the vicious Highwaymen, led by twin sisters Mickey and Lou, travel from place to place bleeding people dry of all available resources. As the Survivors try to defend their lands against the Highwaymen’s relentless onslaught, it’s up to you to come to their aid and lead the fight.
In the latest installment of the award-winning Far Cry franchise, you are the last line of defense in a transformed, post-apocalyptic Hope County. Help the community of Survivors grow stronger, craft a makeshift arsenal through Turf Wars and cross-country Expeditions, and form unexpected alliances to fight for survival in a dangerous new frontier.
