Ubisoft is ready to unveil an expansion to Far Cry 6, and if previous entries are anything to go by – it will likely be something completely unexpected and players will have strong opinions about it. Initially released in October 2021, Far Cry 6 featured famous actor Giancarlo Esposito in the role of the game's antagonist, Anton Castillo. Though many players seem to prefer the three previous Far Cry games for both story and gameplay purposes, Far Cry 6 still offers a thrilling open-world experience in the fictional island country of Yara that fans of the franchise have become accustomed to.Earlier this year, Ubisoft announced a rather exorbitantly priced "Game of the Year" Edition for Far Cry 6, which would come bundled with all the prior DLCs and updates on top of the base game. Given that players can buy the standard version of Far Cry 6 for $19.99, and even the gold version that features its Game Pass DLCs for $39.99, people are left wondering what this new $119.99 edition offers to justify such a steep price tag. The answer is the Lost Between Worlds expansion pack for Far Cry 6.The game's official Twitter posted a teaser today, announcing that the expansion would be unveiled on November 29 during a livestream on Twitch. While it is unknown if Lost Between Worlds will take place within the Far Cry 6 setting – or if it will be a standalone story like Far Cry 3's Blood Dragon – the purple, crystalline aesthetic of the teaser seems to imply a departure from Yara. Given that the franchise offered an experience like Far Cry 4's Primal, a sudden pivot into a universe-hopping adventure wouldn't be out of the question.
No matter the experience Lost Between Worlds offers the player, it will need to be something truly extraordinary to explain its apparent $80 value. It is likely that Ubisoft will allow players to purchase the expansion pack on its own, and it's equally likely that it will only cost half of the price difference between the "Game of the Year" Edition and the Gold Edition for Far Cry 6.
In terms of a proper sequel, not much is known at this point beyond rumors concerning Far Cry 7 – with Jason Schreier reporting that the game will be a radical departure compared to past entries in the Far Cry franchise. Whether that means live service in the veins of Assassin's Creed Infinity or something else entirely, Far Cry players will undoubtedly find out in the next few years.
Far Cry 6 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
