The leaked cast includes family members Layla, Dax, Bry, Christian, Henry, and Christa Bennett. A prominent antagonist emerges: Ian Duncan, a conspiracy theorist with a large following, whose animosity towards the elite fuels his ambitions. Supporting roles may be filled by John McKay and Dr. Safna Kazan.

A significant revelation is the rumored setting: New England. This would mark a first for the Far Cry franchise. While unconfirmed by Ubisoft, and subject to potential development changes, the New England setting is reportedly explicitly mentioned in casting materials. This region, encompassing six states including Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, promises a unique and historically rich environment for the series' signature brand of mayhem.

Adding to the speculation, industry insider Tom Henderson previously hinted at a potential split release for Far Cry 7, with two separate games possibly launching in 2026.
