Only the two spin-off games, Far Cry Primaland Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, break from this structure. This Heart Of Darkness-type theme is explored strongly in Far Cry 2, 3, and 4, set in lawless, war-torn countries, and in Far Cry 5, where the protagonist deals with an apocalypse cult in Montana. Far Cry's sequels built on this blend of wilderness survival and FPS gunplay to create visceral stories about how the human mind can devolve into a kill-or-be-killed mentality when placed in environments where violence is the main problem-solving tool. The first Far Cry, released in 2004, shook up the FPS scene with cutting-edge graphics and a beautiful, open-world tropical sandbox with hostile mercenaries.

The games share common motifs of open-world gameplay and the mentally corrosive effects of violence, but will the upcoming, revolution-themed Far Cry 6 break series trends and make more direct callbacks, bringing back iconic characters from its predecessors?

There have been five Far Cry games to date, and each, for the most part, has been its own FPS, with different heroes and settings.
