Far Cry 5 Is Getting A "Highly Requested" Feature On Current-Gen Consoles For Its 5th Birthday

Could it be a remastered version of Only You?

8 Comments

Ubisoft has announced that Far Cry 5 will get a "highly requested" feature on current-gen consoles to celebrate the game's fifth anniversary.

The news comes from the official Far Cry Twitter account, and it reads:

"Over the next three weeks, celebrate the 5th Anniversary with us. Stay tuned for what's to come, including a highly requested feature for next-gen consoles."

It's still unclear what the "highly requested feature" will be. The game might receive a current-gen update and support 60fps, but what will be added is unknown. In addition to that, Ubisoft might be getting ready to officially announce Far Cry 7. It was previously reported that Ubisoft was working on two Far Cry games, one being a single-player experience and the other being multiplayer-based.

Prior to this announcement, the last time fans received Far Cry 5 content was in the form of a DLC for Far Cry 6. In the DLC, you play as Joseph, the main antagonist of Far Cry 5, and throughout the DLC, you better understand how he became a cult leader.

Far Cry 5 came out in 2018 and followed the story of a deputy sent to arrest Joseph Seed, a cult leader in Montana. But in Far Cry fashion, things go horribly wrong, and you're forced to fight for your life. In our Far Cry 5 review, we gave it a 9, with Edmond Tran stating, "Far Cry 5 boasts a wonderfully harmonious flow to its adventure, with its smart changes to exploration, discovery, and progression distinctly bolstering the enjoyment of creatively engaging and experimenting with its spectacular open world."

I’m just glad you guys wrote “current gen.” It’s annoying that they wrote “next-gen” and that so many people still refer to this generation as that. Next-gen is PS6 and Xbox Turbo or whatever they end up calling it.

The best feature Ubisoft needs to get for this game line is Master Chief cosmetic with grapple arm!

Microsoft should maybe buy Ubusoft too. Good FPS games have a good home with Xbox.

My highly requested "feature" is for Tencent to acquire Ubisoft, and to shut them completely down within 12 months. Thank you🙃

More than likely it’ll be allowing Boomer to ride in the cab of the player’s vehicle as opposed to being forced to chase after the player on foot since that was something first introduced in New Dawn and carried over to 6 in response to all the players upset with how Boomer wasn’t allowed in vehicles for no discernible reason.

Any chance it'll be a Cocaine Bear-inspired DLC where we have to hunt a bear high on coke? Cause that'd be awesome.
