Far Cry New Dawn
Dive into a transformed vibrant post-apocalyptic Hope County, Montana, 17 years after a global nuclear catastrophe. Lead the fight against the Highwaymen, as they seek to take over the last remaining resources.
What it feels like
Despite post-apocalyptic ruin, the vibrant transformed world and resistance against oppression suggests earned optimism.
What it's about
Set 17 years after global nuclear catastrophe, survival in a ruined world is the defining setting. Competing with the Highwaymen for last remaining resources places survival and scarcity as central concerns.
How it plays
Aiming and firing firearms with tactile feedback is the central combat interaction of this FPS. Gathering and managing scarce resources to craft, upgrade, and sustain the fight is a core pressure. Weapons and equipment are incrementally upgraded and improved via materials and currency.
How it looks and sounds
First-person perspective is definitional to the Far Cry franchise and core to the shooter experience. The setting is described as vibrant and transformed, with saturated color distinguishing it from typical gray post-apocalyptic aesthetics.
How it's structured
A large continuous explorable post-apocalyptic Montana landscape is the primary setting, with player-driven traversal and discovery throughout. Single-player campaign is a core design pillar, though online co-op is available as an optional feature. A bounded story arc with a clear narrative of resistance against the Highwaymen provides structure and closure.
