Meet the Characters of Far Cry 5
Following the official announcement of Far Cry 5, Ubisoft has gone ahead and released new character trailers for some of the allies you’ll be encountering across the huge open world of Hope County, Montana. Lord knows you’ll be needing all the help you can get.
In Far Cry 5, you take on the role of the sheriff’s deputy attempting to bring down a fundamentalist religious cult known as Eden’s Gate, which is led by a psychotic preacher named Joseph Seed.
Whilst the fate of Ubisoft remains uncertain as they continue to struggle against a hostile takeover from Vivendi, I’m gonna go ahead and say that Far Cry 5 will likely be one of their best games to date. With the series having sold over 20 million copies worldwide, it’s also pretty likely to be a huge financial hit.
The game will be released on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on February 27, 2018. Ubisoft has confirmed that we’ll be seeing more at their E3 press conference on June 12th.
The Pastor, Jerome Jeffries
Jerome was Hope County’s parish priest for more than 15 years and was one of the first in the community to befriend Joseph Seed, the founder of The Project at Eden’s Gate. Before long, Jerome’s flock left to follow Joseph, and Jerome tried to take it in stride – until Eden’s Gate locked down the county. Not only did Jerome lose his church, but he was beaten and left for dead in the woods. Jerome survived and vowed to protect the cult’s intended victims, and as a Gulf War vet, he’s got the training and experience to lead Hope County back to the light.
Mary May Fairgrave
A lifelong resident of Hope County, Mary May used to own and operate her family’s saloon, The Spread Eagle. The bank foreclosed on the place after her parents died and money ran short, however, and Eden’s Gate took it over for pennies on the dollar. Watching the cult swallow up her birthright is a bridge too far, and she’s ready to take back the Eagle – and Hope County – by any means necessary.
Nick Rye (Gun for Hire)
Nick comes from a long line of military pilots, and his decision not to enlist created a deep rift between him and his father. Instead, Nick took up the family legacy in a different way, waging war against farm pests as a cropduster pilot and trying to start a family with his wife, Kim. Lately, though, Eden’s Gate has been making his life difficult through its aggressive attempts to buy his cropdusting business, and as the situation in Hope County heats up, it seems war has finally come to Nick’s doorstep. And this time, he’s answering the call.
