Ubisoft has finally given a first look at the highly anticipated Far Cry 6: Lost Between Worlds expansion along with its release date and price point. It looks like Lost Between Worlds will continue Far Cry's trend of being more experimental, with Dani Rojas' new sci-fi adventure being a sharp departure from the grounded tone and story of Far Cry 6. The last batch of DLC from Far Cry 6 featuring the series previous villains drew a lot of mixed opinions, so hopefully Lost Between Worlds can correct the course for players.
Lost Between Worlds has been teased extensively by Ubisoft over the last week on social media as the next chapter in Dani Rojas' story. Initially, players were concerned that the expansion would only be available as part of the very expensive Far Cry 6: Game of the Year Edition at $199.99 due to a leak that was posted to the Xbox Database in September. Fear not though, as many have predicted, players will be able to pick up Lost Between Worlds on its own and at a very reasonable price.
Far Cry 6: Lost Between Worlds will release on December 6 on Consoles and PC and will start at $19.99. The trailer sees Dani traverse a broken and distorted Yara through dimensional rifts, each of which has its own rules and laws of physics. It looks like Dani will be getting some help along the way from an extraterrestrial companion that looks and sounds a lot like The Ghosts from Destiny.
Each of the dimensional rifts contains crystal-like enemies which seem to be tied to the elements, Dani's weapon changes color depending on which enemy type she's facing, so this could be a core gameplay mechanic. Ubisoft has teased that the new expansion will expand the Far Cry 6 lore while introducing new enemies and gameplay challenges along with "life or death trials."
It's a pleasant surprise that players will be able to jump into Lost Between Worlds in a matter of days. There'll also be a sigh of relief that the expansion can be bought on its own without having to pay for the extortionate Game of the Year Edition. If Ubisoft had made that decision, as was previously thought, it would have gone down as perhaps one of the worst moves from a developer in recent years. There's little word if this new expansion is completely stand-alone but the sci-fi influence in this expansion could very well be hinting at where Ubisoft plans to take the franchise next.
Far Cry 6: Lost Between Worlds releases December 6 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
