Skills & Progression | |
N/A | Ability progression is tied to collected Gear pieces and weapon modifications rather than traditional skill trees tied to player XP. Players increase their rank by earning XP, which unlocks access to better gear and weapons from vendors. Resolver weapons and Supremo backpacks provide unique, powerful active abilities and are crafted/upgraded at workbenches using gathered resources like Depleted Uranium. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
N/A | Yara is the largest Far Cry setting to date, a vast open world featuring diverse environments: jungles, beaches, rural areas, and the urban capital city of Esperanza. The world is divided into main regions, each controlled by a member of Castillo's regime and containing various activities like FND bases (outposts), checkpoints, and treasure hunts. |

extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
N/A | Available in Standard, Deluxe, Gold, and Game of the Year Editions. Deluxe includes the Ultimate Pack (cosmetic items). Gold includes the Season Pass (3 villain DLCs and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Classic Edition). Game of the Year includes the base game, Season Pass, Ultimate Pack, and the Lost Between Worlds expansion. |
Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
Overwatch 2 follows a seasonal live-service model. Each season (typically lasting around 9 weeks) introduces a new Battle Pass, often a new hero (alternating seasons), new maps or game modes, balance changes, limited-time events, and new cosmetic items in the shop. PvE Story Missions are planned as significant post-launch premium content, releasing episodically. |
Post-launch support includes a Season Pass with three major DLCs focused on past Far Cry villains (Vaas: Insanity, Pagan: Control, Joseph: Collapse). A standalone expansion, 'Lost Between Worlds', was also released, adding a new storyline and area. Free updates added Special Operations, crossover missions (e.g., Danny Trejo, Stranger Things, Rambo), New Game Plus, and other features. |
