    I like the Logo, maybe it is time for change - something a little different, at first I thought it was unfinished then noticed there was a slight tint of color at the edges.
    It will be interesting to see if it does alter not in the font style but more color added, we will have to wait for some official videos / images or box art to find out I guess.

    So its still possible for me, Ubi kicked out such a logo to not give any clear evidence to the setting.
    If it would have been a wooden one, everthing would have been fixed.
    Could still be both, modern setting or wild-west.
    Blue and Red are also the colors of lights on a cop car and the primary speculation at this point is that you're a cop in modern day MT...

    Thats what has a higher probability I also guess.
    But lets take a look back to all the old FC-worlds…
    Wild animals, unknown landscape, some kind of tribal humans, to get some magic/mystical touch.
    And always you are kinda lost in the wilderness, fighting alone against an evil.

    How would this fit to modern Montana ?
    You are a cop? You don’t know your surrounding anymore ?
    Montana has still wild animals? Maybe a zoo ?
    Its cut off from the rest of US, so you fight alone, no other cops available/reachable ??
    Perhaps any imaginary scenario? Or some years in the future ?

    Montana is a huge state, but only has a population of about a million people, and most of that population is concentrated on the bigger towns (I would know, I live in one of the bigger ones) there is alot of land mass, but I do agree, it will take some cleverness to justify not being able to get in contact with civilization. However none of the past FC games have been set in actual real-world places, they're always a fictionalized version, so I guess maybe the "Hope County" that the game is rumored to be set in could just be a less populated area, I do hope we get a bigger town/ settlement than we've ever had before though, could be cool.

    As for being a cop and how they're going to justify you being unfamiliar with the area, I was thinking maybe you're a recent transfer, maybe you are a new cop (inexperienced, "I've never shot anyone before" type) and you just transferred or moved to the area. Also MT does have plenty of wild animals, I don't think there is a zoo in the state actually. When I was a kid we had deer in our backyard and my dad hunted mountain lions. Our dogs tree'd a bear in our back yard and my dad called his friend who had a hunting tag for one and the guy came & shot it out of the tree... no zoos are going to be necessary to justify a wide variety of wild animals... Black & Grizzly bears, mountain lions, bobcat, lynx, badgers, wolverines maybe? then your standard deer, elk, antelope rabbits, foxes skunks all the smaller creatures...Rattlesnakes... plenty of animal fodder for our pouch crafting needs!!

    The hardest part is going to be justifying being isolated & cut off from any sort of backup...

    Ubisoft basically recreate a real world in the game like Chicago in WD, LA in WD2 and Bolivia in GR:W... if FC5 really set in Montana, you are the lucky ones

    Actually WD2 was set in San Fransisco, not LA... but as I said, specifically for the Far Cry games, the locations have not been actual real world places, just inspired by them. Kyrat is not a real place, The Rook Islands do not actually exist, but those places were inspired by areas in Nepal & southeast Asia... they could do the same with the location of FC5 and just draw inspiration from the landscapes of MT all the way to California and just condense those various environments into the more confined space of the game's world, thats all I'm saying.....

    sorry... not American....having trouble tell LA from SF ( hollywood and Sillycon Valley MY BAD

    But you have to admit Kyrat is super like Tibet (Himalaya and Shangri-la) even though some of the enemies say Cantonese..

    Maybe it's not the real recreate of Montana but I think it could be very familiar to you

    Right, the only thing I was getting at about the FC locations being fictionalized is that they're not highly accurate recreations but rather heavily inspired by. Kyrat may look like Tibet, but it's not like you could navigate your way around based on the map of Kyrat, they just look similar on an aesthetic level, but they are by no means 1:1 recreations... point is, because they simply take inspiration but are free to take all the liberties they want they'll be able to condense landscapes and make the confines of the map more varied than a more accurate recreation would permit...
