Far Cry 6/3
Ubisoft
Yesterday, Far Cry 6 leaked in the PlayStation store and revealed the great news that Giancarlo Esposito, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and Mandalorian star, is playing the brand-new villain in the video game. Ubisoft rolled with the leakage, releasing an authorities, brief teaser of his character, dictator Anton Castillo, and there will be a main expose tomorrow during an Ubisoft display.
One fascinating aspect of Castillo as the villain nevertheless is that there appears to be a concentrate on his young child, Diego. Children are … typically not a big part of Far Cry games, much lesser enough to really make their method to the cover art, and it struck me as unusual.
Well, theories rapidly began to distribute that I am now 100% thinking to be real. Simply put, the idea is that Far Cry 6 is a prequel to Far Cry 3, and that Diego is actually a young version of Vaas, the bad guy of that game played by Michael Mando.
There are two main pieces of proof for this, and a lot of smaller sized ones. The very first is the scar, as very first explained by IGNs Joe Skrebels:
Those are the 2 significant pieces of evidence. The small ones?
Finally, Better Call Saul fans understand that Giancarlo Esposito and Michael Mando regularly share the screen in that series (Mandos Nacho works for Espositos Gus Fring). So theres that connection, and it would just be another day of the 2 interacting.
I imply, yeah, thats pretty clear by itself. That is not a scar that Michael Mando has in reality, and was specifically offered to Vaas (together with his other, giant scar, certainly). That looks like way too particular an information to be an accident, plus theres the reality the kid just … sort of does look like a young Vaas more typically.
” Thank you so much! Vaas is my spirit animal – having co-created that character is something that will always be dear to me. I still get acknowledged as Vaas, and I still feel the profusion of love for that character – makes me extremely pleased. Who knows … perhaps I will repeat the role really soon?:p”.
Follow me on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Choose up my sci-fi novels Herokiller and Herokiller 2, and read my first series, The Earthborn Trilogy, which is likewise on audiobook.
Far Cry video games are typically connected to each other in some way, whether its a stray character or 2, or the mention of occasions from a previous video game. Theres actually a grand unifying theory that all Ubisofts video games share the exact same world, but Far Cry games in particular regularly connect in small ways, so no, I would not be amazed to see the game go back to one of its most popular characters like this.
That is not a scar that Michael Mando has in genuine life, and was specifically offered to Vaas (along with his other, huge scar, certainly). That seems like way too specific a detail to be a mishap, plus theres the truth the kid just … sort of does look like a young Vaas more normally.
I still get acknowledged as Vaas, and I still feel the outpouring of love for that character – makes me very happy. And if Diego is a young Vaas, I would imagine the game contains some sort of time avoid where we get to see Vaas in complete Michael Mando kind before the end of the video game, though certainly we will not eliminate him. The idea is that our actions in the game will shape him into the harsh monster he ends up being.
No one made much of this at the time, and yet “maybe I will repeat the function soon?” sure appears ultra-relevant now. And if Diego is a young Vaas, I would think of the video game includes some sort of time avoid where we get to see Vaas completely Michael Mando form prior to completion of the game, though clearly we wont eliminate him. The concept is that our actions in the video game will form him into the vicious monster he becomes.
Theres Mando himself, who commented on Vaas in a reddit AMA two months ago (via Polygon):.
Simply put, yeah, I totally believe that this is a Vaas prequel. Whether that will be kept a secret or be revealed up front, we will discover tomorrow, I suppose.
