Released in 2018 by Ubisoft, Far Cry 5 introduced fresh ideas into the well-established formula of the series. The game continues the tradition of battling ruthless dictators and terrorists, but this time it takes place in the United States, in the fictional Hope County, Montana. Unlike its predecessors, Far Cry 5 marked a shift in both story and world, presenting a more contemporary and politically charged narrative. With themes of religious extremism, violence, and social issues, the game became a stark metaphor for the fight for freedom.
