The location, style, world for Far Cry 6.5 - the SpinOff after Far Cry 6? [Whishlist]
Far Cry 6 is on it's way; and I am sure it will be great ... if not - and you overhyped it for yourself - well, ... at least it will be a very solid open world shooter ;)
We know it will play in Yara which is mostly inspired by Cuba (at least it's history if we look on its economics and the environment). Maybe a lot of people who wanted Far Cry 6 to be set in Cuba, or at least in South America, can be a bit more happy now.
The main games of the Far Cry Series have always had a more realistic place/location since Far Cry 2 (Central Africa; an island in Southeast Asia; a state near/in the Himalaya; a valley in Montana, USA with a sect problem).
I know it will still take some time and we can all be hyped (not overhyped) for the upcoming Far Cry 6. But I also want to look and talk over Far Cry "6.5".
These Far Cry SpinOffs have become a regular routine and I hope it stays that way: (The legendary) Blood Dragon (Far Cry 3.5), also: Primal (Far Cry 4.5) and New Dawn (Far Cry 5.5).
It is much harder to predict where, when ... ... or even how these worlds in these X.5-titles will look like. The studios have a lot more (creative) freedom here and I think we should let them this freedom. ;)
==> We could literally end up everywhere. <==
A fact that I like ... wait: Need to clarify it: A fact that I realy like! One of the best aspects of the Far Cry Series for me. :D
Months ago I talked with some people in this forum about possible locations of potential SpinOff after Far Cry 6. About: Far Cry "6.5" (or similar). And also about a few possible DLCs for Far Cry 6 with new, unique locations (similar to Far Cr 5: Hours of Darkness and Lost on Mars; not Counting the Co-Op-Zombie thing.)
These ideas are spread in the Ubisoft-Forum/Far Cry 5 Topic ... maybe I will summarize them, if I find some time.

But first: I want to throw something open for discussion:
- Do you think there will be a Far Cry "6.5" - a (maybe very creative and surprising) SpinOff?
- Which location, time, style [fictional, sci-fi, fantasy, creative*, historical, mystical*, dark, bright, serious, "meta-level"-funny like Blood Dragon or Lost on Mars, deep, realistic, crazy, ...] , whatever :D would you like to see? Or which one do you expect to see?
- Do you think we will get some DLCs with new locations and short stories like for Far Cry 5? (Or do you expect something like "Vallay of the Yetis"* for Far Cry 4? ... ... *I think this one way cut of the main game (after escaping the prison), but re-added later as DLC, ... luckily.)
- Do you like the fact that the SpinOffs of Far Cry are very creative (or in other words:"total crazy" - meant in a positive way of course)?
*Hint: I also look on the 2nd DLCs for Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Odyssey: The 4 different Egyptian afterworld locations [in the Curse of the Pharao DLC] and [in Odyssey:] the three maps in the Atlantis DLC. No question, these very very creative. The topic was in both cases the life after death - which is a very mystical topic (which I personally like).
I whish Far Cry would have also something similar to the Assassin's Creed DLC locations in the future. - you, too? (Sure, we have Shanrgi-La ... but why not push this apsect? Shangri-La were "only" a few side missions in Far Cry 4. Why not bring something "bigger" (and more epic) out? [Also with much deeper gameplay than in Shangri-La?]
So What you think? Expect? Whish?
