While Far Cry 6 won’t have a map editor, Ubisoft confirmed that the game will come with a third-person mode. However, there is a catch. This mode will not be widely available throughout the game. Instead, players will see their main character from a third-person perspective only under certain scenarios.
Going into more details, Far Cry 6’s narrative director Navid Khavari claimed that the game will swift camera viewpoints from first-person to third-person during its in-engine cinematics.
“In cinematics, [third-person] is something the team tried early on, and it felt surprisingly seamless. It instantly felt like there was more of a connection to Dani’s journey in the world, more of a connection to this epic story in Yara.”
Additionally, the game will switch to third-person when players enter guerilla camps. Thus, and in the game’s hubs, Far Cry 6 will feel like games such as The Witcher, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Assassin’s Creed.
As Khavari added:
“Players will also be able to see their character customizations in these highly-realized story beats. In Guerrilla Camps, this is also an opportunity for players to be able to see their fully customized character; everything from their backpack to their clothes.”
Lastly, the game will have a third-person mode when using the Supremo backpack. These backpacks will unlock powerful abilities for Dani, like a flamethrower or missile barrage.
“In the Supremo backpack moments during gameplay, the third-person transition is intended so players can see all of the backpack’s effects, and better feel its impact in action.”
Far Cry 6 releases on October 7th.

That neat though an ability to switch to third person will be something fresh to the Far Cry series
In a cutscene or a vehicle why not, but this won’t add anything to on-foot sections, maybe making them even worse.
This will also require extra animation work as it’s well known that FP characters have janky animations due to their extreme responsiveness
Unsurprising that Ubisoft made the female protagonist fking ugly.
she’s pretty hot. I’m 100 percent convinced most of you here are into small school girls. the thing with edgy forums is that the majority of their users are lonely creeps . most of you pedophiles said the same thing about jill in re3 remake as well.
Lol no doubt. She not even ugly at all. I think this guy is racist too because the female character isn’t white
Believe me, most of these people aren’t white themselves.
Good, pick a male character if/when you pirate this game, say no to trans players.
Prolly a d-ke too.
3d person in shooter oriented game… no thx while playing – Glad it only seems the cutscenes have that. That said… i don’t have high hopes for this title. After the original farcry the series have really kept falling and falling and falling and….
I’d not be surprised if this decision was made only to make the user spend premium currency on outfits that are not obtainable by normal means, since player customization in first person games often fall flat.
so its forced third person only when you enter the guerilla camps aka non combat areas, meh it sucks
Since the main character will have proper third-person animations, I’m pretty sure that modders will release a third-person mod (for combat).
how did that work out for cyberpunk? Also no i want a fps mod, i want to explore the guirella camps in fps view.
