Far Cry New Dawn is a 2019 first-person shooter game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is a spin-off and sequel to Far Cry 5, and the twelfth overall installment in the Far Cry series. Set seventeen years after one of the endings of Far Cry 5 which saw the fictional Hope County, Montana
being devastated by a nuclear exchange known as "the Collapse", the
game follows a group of survivors as they attempt to rebuild their
community and defeat a gang of vicious bandits. Players assume the role
of an unnamed security captain who, like Far Cry 5's deputy sheriff, is silent and highly customizable. New Dawn features most of the pre-existing gameplay elements of the series, including a large open world, capturing of outposts, and AI or co-op companions; it also introduces several elements from RPG gameplay, such as an upgradeable home base and increased reliance on crafting from limited supplies.[2]
Far Cry New Dawn was released worldwide for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One
on February 15, 2019. It received generally mixed reviews, with praise
for the world design and entertaining gameplay, and criticism for its
narrative and similarities to
Far Cry 5. The game's sales were lower than both
Far Cry 5 and
Far Cry Primal
