Additionally, the studio has collaborated with the popular Netflix show, ‘Stranger Things’ bringing a new element of survival-horror into the Far Cry universe. Players can explore hidden bunkers, labs, and locations inspired by the series – including the frill-faced Demogorgon, hunting in the dark.

Titled – ‘The Vanishing,’ the plot follows protagonist Dani’s adventures, as she embarks into the Upside-Down, in hopes of finding the disappearing populace and the adorable puppy, Chorizo. As part of the DLC, players will receive new skins for a flamethrower and a themed shotgun.

Ubisoft has been rolling out fresh content to Far Cry 6, centred around the arch-villains in the series. Last month, the studio released the Joseph: Collapse DLC, a roguelike experience that focussed on fighting manifestations of his inner demons. The DLC, alongside the ones featuring Vaas and Pagan Min, is included in the Season Pass, which is currently available at 35 percent off.
