The first paid downloadable content for Far Cry 6, featuring Far Cry 3 villain Vaas, will be released on November 16.

News | Danny Trejo Mission Added To Far Cry 6 Too Early

Far Cry 6 accidentally added a mission with actor Danny Trejo too early this week.

The mission ‘Dani & Danny vs Everybody’ was still in development and should not be released as downloadable content until December. However, an early version of the DLC was added to the game earlier this week. Below are images of the mission.

Ubisoft has released Title Update 2 for Far Cry 6, removing the mission. Furthermore, various bugs are eliminated and user-friendly additions are made. For example, it is now possible to skip the video at the beginning of the campaign. New daily and weekly challenges have also been added.


News | PETA Wants To See Cockfights removed from Far Cry 6

Animal rights group PETA would like to see Ubisoft take a cockfighting minigame from the recently released Far Cry 6.

The organization criticizes the minigame, in which players can optionally participate in a cockfight. The whole thing is presented as a fighting game.

“Incorporating a horrific blood sport like cockfighting into a Mortal Kombat-esque gameplay segment cannot be seen as innovative, as today’s society strongly disapproves of forced fights between animals to the death,” the organization said in a statement.

PETA has been making a lot of noise when it comes to how animal behavior is portrayed in games. For example, hunting animals in Far Cry games has also been touched upon before. Last year, PETA criticized Animal Crossing: New Horizons for allowing players to catch insects and fish and then display them in a museum.
