So there’s this Highwaymen outpost out in the middle of nowhere. Lightly guarded, dressed in gaudy pink and housing some good loot. Want it? Well you’re only a few bullets away from obtaining it. With the goons taken care of, run to the back of the garage and locate the broken windmill.

Wolverines! Not just the rallying call of a band of renegades in Red Dawn, but also the name of a very tenacious species of homicidal bastard badger that has the hair trigger temper usually reserved for people who get offended by woke shaving razor commercials. There’s an old Seed church that happens to be infested with wolverines and loot, so you know what to do: Bust in, get the goods and scram in a blaze of glory.

It may not really do anything especially new, but ar Cry: New Dawn is an experience that encapsulates everything great about the franchise. It’s instantly familiar to anyone who has played any of Ubisoft’s shooters over the last couple of years, but it’s a confident approach that works well as a colourful diversion at the end of the world.

If you hated engaging in a Far Cry 5 mission and found your perfect shot interrupted by a cougar chewing your face off, then Expeditions might just be right up your alley.

The Far Cry series is a bit of an oddity in the gaming industry where the regularly released "numbered" titles pop up every few years and then the developers are set free to create weird and exciting new game between core series entries. Normally these games have nothing in common with the actual main game, but with Far Cry: New Dawn Ubisoft has decided to link the two... kind of.

Life is good in Far Cry new Dawn! And surprisingly authentic, as Ubisoft’s replica of a post-apocalypse landscape has some actual science behind it.

For Far Cry: New Dawn, Ubisoft wants to change that formula up and give players deadlier opponents to deal with. Thanks to enhanced enemy AI, the post apocalypse might just more ruthless as creative director Jean-Sebastien Decant detailed how the game world and its inhabitants would react to your incursions into enemy territory.

It has been 17 years since the bombs fell. Almost two decades of war and ruin, that has led to the world descending into chaos as a new status quo has risen up in the ashes of mutually assured destruction. Welcome, to Far Cry New Dawn.
