Far Cry New Dawn is a first person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal . The game is an offshoot of the Far Cry series and narrative follows on from Far Cry 5 . It was released on February 15, 2019 for Microsoft Windows , Xbox One and PlayStation 4 .

action

Far Cry New Dawn is set in the same Hope County area (but scaled down to the north and east) as Far Cry 5, but is set 17 years after the nuclear disaster that ends Far Cry 5. When the members of Prosperity dare to leave their bunkers, the Highwaymen - led and sisters Mickey and Lou - already hold control of large parts of Hope County. Only the border to the apparently deserted northern part of the map is controlled by New Eden , who patrol the highwaymen outside their area at night and see themselves as successors to the Peggies ( Project at Eden's Gate , the Christian fanatical antagonist organization from Far Cry 5).

The game begins with the player character, who can be either male or female, and other fighters take the train to Hope County to support Prosperity. The Highwaymen derail the train and kill all survivors of the train accident except the player and Thomas Rush, who are separated. The player is found by Carmina, daughter of the leader of Prosperity, and won over for the resistance against the Highwaymen.

The player saves Thomas Rush (who will soon be kidnapped and killed again) and wins other characters, some of whom are already known from Far Cry 5, for Prosperity. However, it turns out that Prosperity cannot win against the Highwaymen on its own and needs the help of New Eden. Their leader, Ethan, is the son of Joseph Seed, the main antagonist of Far Cry 5. Ethan promises to help the player if he can provide him with evidence of the death of his father, whose retreat is in the far north. Joseph Seed still lives there by a tree, from which he offers the player an apple and thus gives him the superpower of Eden's gift . Together, the player and Joseph Seed go back to Ethan, who is not thrilled that his followers now see Joseph Seed as a leader. New Eden now also patrols outside of their area during the day.

The player has the opportunity to win a VIP meeting with Mickey and Lou in a kind of stock car race using weapons. Ethan also shows up at the meeting, promising the Highwaymen that if they kill his former followers, he will show them the location of the tree. The player can no longer save most of the followers, but after the massacre he kills Lou (and, if desired, Mickey). Then he goes to the tree where Ethan is eating one of the apples in front of his father, which he was not allowed to do from childhood. However, since Ethan's soul is not pure, he becomes a kind of mutated gorilla that the player must kill. In mourning for his son, Joseph Seed sets the tree on fire and asks to be shot by the player.

The player and Carmina celebrate victory over the Highwaymen at Thomas Rush's grave.

Gameplay

The gameplay of this open-world game largely corresponds to that of the other parts of the series from Far Cry 3 onwards: There are ten outposts on the map - but only in the southern half - that the player must occupy in order to take control of the map . He can also collect materials and plants and hunt animals.

In Hope County, cut off from the outside world, there is no real money. Instead, ethanol is the most important resource. It is stored in the outposts where it can be obtained through conquest. In addition, it is occasionally thrown from airplanes in boxes and transported by tanker truck, which the player can loot. He can use the ethanol to expand his main base, which gives him playful advantages. At Wikibeania , he can also have places marked on the map where he can find certain animals or technical materials such as springs and gears. Animal products are used almost exclusively to be exchanged for technical materials. The latter can then be used to manufacture and improve weapons as well as ground, air and water vehicles. This can partly also be done with Far Cry Credits , which can be bought for real money or found in treasure hunts. Another resource is copper, which is looted from killed enemies and used for the manufacture of ammunition.

Through challenges in the game world - i. i. especially the use of as many different types of weapons as possible - the player receives advantage points that he can use to acquire skills called advantages . There are 30 skills (five of which were due to Eden's gift), seven of which can be learned several times.

Roger Cadoret flies the player in his stolen Grosse Patate helicopter on seven expeditions , each of which takes place in a location outside Hope County. The task is always to find a package from the Highwaymen, to steal it and to be picked up again at least two and a half minutes later. For this he receives particularly rare technical materials.

The game can be played alone, in pairs or with one of eight different helpers on demand . The latter are computer-controlled characters that the player releases in the course of the game.

development

Far Cry New Dawn was developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Ubisoft Kiev, Ubisoft Romania and Ubisoft Shanghai and, like its predecessor Far Cry 5 , uses a further development of the Dunia engine .

According to art director Isaac Papismado, the Ubisoft team had long had the idea of ​​creating a Far Cry game in a post-apocalyptic scenario . However, dark and desolate tones should be avoided in order to avoid the cliché of an end times and instead create a colorful world.

To give the Highwaymen a unique visual identity, Ubisoft hired a graffiti artist to be responsible for the style and graffiti of the game.

Similar to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Far Cry Primal , Far Cry New Dawn is not a main offshoot of the series, but a smaller production, which is also reflected in a lower price.

The game was announced at the Game Awards 2018 and was released on February 15, 2019 for Microsoft Windows , Xbox One and PlayStation 4 .

localization

The game was localized by mouse-power GmbH under the direction of Wiebke Westphal.
