After an attempt to arrest Joseph Seed for kidnapping goes predictably wrong, the Deputy is divided from the rest of the police unit and must join the resistance in Hope County with the ultimate goal of rescuing the other officers and bringing Joseph in. There, the Deputy finds him or herself in conflict with The Project at Eden's Gate (due to their acronym PEG, known as "Peggies" by the locals), a militarized doomsday cult led by radical preacher Joseph Seed who styles himself as "The Father." His sister and two brothers serve as his subordinate "Heralds," each controlling an area of the valley which encircles Hope County. The game is the first in the series to feature player-controllable armed airplanes and helicopters.įar Cry 5 is the first entry to take place in the United States, and sees the player take on the role of an unnamed Junior Sheriff's Deputy (only ever called "Deputy," "Rookie," or "Rook," and whose appearance and sex can be chosen by the player) in the fictional Hope County, Montana (which is stated to be "a few hours" southwest of Missoula).


Like the previous two numbered Far Cry games, the plot is not directly connected to previous entries in the series but the game is supposed to take place in the same world, with side-characters such as Willis Huntley returning for side-missions. Far Cry 5 is the fifth main installment in the Far Cry series, developed by Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Toronto and released on March 27th 2018 for PS4, Xbox One and Windows PC.
