As the leaking ship that is Ubisoft slowly pulls into next month’s E3 conference, the rumors about the company’s upcoming games are coming in hot and heavy. We’re still waiting on official word about the next Assassin’s Creed, but another whispered-about sequel, Far Cry 5, was confirmed last week, and now the publisher is rolling out the first vague details about the game. Specifically, we now know the series will be trading the exotic, far-flung locales in which it’s typically set for a stop in rural Montana.
The completely game-footage free teaser trailer shows a man running through a field before the video cuts to black and a gunshot cracks out through the air. The camera then takes us past a small church while a chorus sings “Amazing Grace,” and as we get closer to the building, we see the ringing from its belltower is actually coming from someone bashing another person’s skull against the bell. And thus, we are welcomed to the fictional Hope County.
