On Wednesday, the official Far Cry franchise's social media account surprisingly revealed that a new game would be announced during The Game Awards 2018. It seems a second reveal is now available prior to the start of the show, though this one is absolutely unintentional.

Introducing Far Cry: New Dawn, which appears to be the next major release in the Far Cry franchise. The new title is now known due to the fact that the box art was leaked accidentally prior to its official announcement.

Media organizations, likely under embargo, have presumably been preparing articles covering many of the announcements planned for tonight's The Game Awards 2018. One organization, suspected to be France's JeuxVideo, accidentally published an image of  Far Cry: New Dawn's box art publicly instead of privately. In doing so, the first confirmation of the new game's title as well as its two potential antagonists have been leaked. Of course, there's clearly much more left to reveal.

Far Cry: New Dawn's box art itself is rich in detail. Yesterday's social media teaser reveal hinted at plenty already, including the game's post-apocalypse setting, so that shouldn't come as much of a surprise. That said, though, the box art builds off the details already known. The two presumed antagonists are juxtaposed in front of a captive prisoner who is tied to the top of a wrecked car with its front-end stuck in the ground. Surrounding them is an environment reminiscent of Far Cry 5 with its churches and farm silos, as well as an assortment of pink wildflowers that may or may not be related to Bliss.

Beyond the characters themselves, the clothes they're wearing, the weapons they wield, and the vehicles seen along the edges are also noteworthy. Some weapons are rather basic antiques, rusted or aged with time, while others are crafted creations with hand-made bayonets or an altogether new saw-blade crossbow. The vehicles, a motorcycle on the left and a truck/SUV on the right, channel Mad Max's road warrior aesthetic.

More news regarding Far Cry: New Dawn is certain to be shown tonight during The Game Awards 2018. Expect a new trailer and more information to drop via social media soon. The Game Award 2018 airs at 5:30 pm PT and will likely run for several hours.

Far Cry: New Dawn has no current release window or announced platforms.
