Far Cry 6's DLC will let us experience the game as some of the franchise's most infamous villains. 

A prematurely-released video – now since-deleted – intimates that upcoming DLC will permit players to play as Far Cry 3's Vaas Montenegro, 4's Pagan Min, and Far Cry 5's charismatic cult leader, Joseph Seed. 

We may find out more at E3 2021's Ubisoft Forward – formally, this time – when it kicks off later today at 12am PT / 8pm BST.

ICYMI, we recently learned that the missions in Far Cry 6 can be played in almost any order and that taking on Giancarlo Esposito's character, Antón Castillo, may require story progression first. When players do reach Anton, Esposito has confirmed that there will be multiple endings to unlock and that once we've finished with the main campaign, there will be "something else" for players to do, too. 

For more, check out our Far Cry 6 preview, where Rachel reveals that there's not just "more chaos, more weapons, and more gear, but a whole country to play with"... "and yes, awesome animal companions are back". 

It's not the first Ubisoft leak to escape ahead of the official show, either. Just yesterday, a Mario + Rabbids sequel – Sparks of Hope – popped up online, too, with Reddit user PracticalBrush12 "predicting" (for which he claims are legal reasons) that the game will be announced this weekend.
