Far Cry 6 narrative director Navid Khavari has issued a lengthy statement on the politics of the game, following a backlash to a quote of his last week.
In a post on the Ubisoft blog, Khavari sought to reassure fans that Far Cry 6 would include “hard, relevant discussions” about “the rise of fascism in a nation, the costs of imperialism, forced labour, the need for free-and-fair elections, LGBTQ+ rights, and more within the context of Yara”, the game’s fictional Caribbean island setting.
“Our story is political,” Khavari commented. “A story about a modern revolution must be.”
