On Sunday, July 12, game studio Ubisoft held its presentation, at which it announced a new installment of the popular game Far Cry 6, and also shared details about Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion and its other projects.

Far Cry 6

The main villain, the dictator Anton Castillo of the fictional version of Cuba, will be played by actor Giancarlo Esposito, known for the series "Breaking Bad." In the storyline, he rules the "stuck in the past" tropical country of Yara and tries to restore the state to its former greatness.

Among other things, Castillo will have to raise his teenage son Diego, played by actor Anthony Gonzalez, known for the animated film "Coco." The game's protagonist, Dani Rojas, will be a supporter of the resistance against Castillo's regime.

Ubisoft promise the largest world in Far Cry history, a full-fledged large city, many types of transport (from horses to tanks), a dog as a companion, and replay in co-op. The game will be released on February 18, 2021 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC.

For pre-ordering Far Cry 6, players will get a dog with paralyzed hind legs on wheels and a deadly disc launcher. The Gold Edition includes a Season Pass with 3 DLCs and other additional content. The Ultimate Edition added 3 more content packs. The collector's edition includes a replica flamethrower, the Ultimate Edition, an artbook, a steelbook, 10 stickers, the soundtrack, a dog keychain and a map.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Announced back in late April, AC: Valhalla will be released on November 17 (two days before Cyberpunk 2077) and will bring back social stealth to the game, update the combat system, add a settlement and a world map with alliances. Ubisoft also showed a gameplay trailer, screenshots and artwork.

Watch Dogs Legion

The game will be released on October 29 and, in addition to a 4-minute cinematic trailer, "Point of No Return," received an almost 8-minute gameplay overview. Over the past year, Ubisoft have been adding a campaign of unique characters, between whom players will have to switch during the game.

Players of Watch Dogs Legion will find a futuristic London with recognizable districts, but without suburbs. It is even possible to ride the famous London Eye without an hour-long queue at the entrance.
