Far Cry 7: Bring Back the Dogs!

by

Summary

  • Far Cry has featured a number of animal companions in the past, including Timber and Boomer.
  • Far Cry 7‘s story may involve rescuing a kidnapped family, giving it a good reason to include them again.
  • The next game could reintroduce beloved canine companions, tying into the framework and providing a level of comfort and assistance throughout the experience.

At the moment, details about the next installment of the Far Cry series remain scarce. Since the release of the sixth main entry in 2021, Ubisoft has been tight-lipped about what the next title, likely Far Cry 7, might entail. As fans eagerly await news on its upcoming developments, speculation and rumors have swirled around Far Cry, some of which haven’t received positive responses if the reported changes to the franchise’s formula are indeed taking place.

The leaked details hint at the narrative of Far Cry 7 focusing on a character whose kin has been abducted to an imaginary island in the Yellow Sea. Throughout the series progression, it incorporated the solitary hero’s adventure through perilous and alluring environments by incorporating a variety of playable NPCs to join forces and combat the villain’s troops. Among these, there is one unique group that has won hearts and should reappear in the upcoming game.

It’s been speculated for some time that the upcoming game, Far Cry 7, might feature a built-in timer within the gameplay. However, neither this claim nor any other related information has yet to be verified as fact by the developers. The idea has sparked debates among fans, but it remains unconfirmed or denied.

No Matter Where it Goes, Far Cry 7 Should Feature Another Canine Companion

Far Cry’s History With Faithful Hound Companions

In previous versions, Far Cry has introduced some four-legged companions that players may discover and have trail behind them throughout their journey. Known as “Fangs for Hire”, these dog-like allies were a notable feature.

  • Boomer– Far Cry 5
  • Timber– Far Cry New Dawn
  • Chorizo– Far Cry 6

When accompanying you on your journey, these pups can assist by gathering resources, creating diversions, and engaging enemies. The Fangs for Hire are a charming addition to the various features in Far Cry, offering a softer side to the game’s typically harsh environments and grim elements. They also provide some additional aid during gameplay.

In Far Cry Primal, players were able to domesticate ancient wolves, marking a significant departure from the norm, and it’s improbable this feature will return for the seventh installment.

How Far Cry 7 Could Have More Best Boy Companions

In a potential scenario for Far Cry 7, if the storyline revolves around a protagonist whose family members are kidnapped, introducing a canine companion within the context of a rescue mission could effectively reinforce this theme. This character trait might make the main character more endearing and relatable, contrasting with, say, the Junior Deputy from Far Cry 5. If Far Cry 7’s rumored time-limit mechanic is indeed true, this pet could play a role by impacting gameplay directly, for instance, being able to alter or slow down the timer as part of their abilities or upgrades, thereby adding another layer to the narrative and gameplay dynamics.

If ‘Far Cry 7’ isn’t heading in the direction I’m imagining, it’d still be fantastic if Ubisoft considered reintroducing four-legged friends as potential companions once more in their upcoming adventure. Games like Team Ninja’s 2024 release, ‘Rise of the Ronin’, have shown us innovative animal-taming mechanics that could serve as a springboard for ‘Far Cry 7’. Perhaps players could tame stray dogs found throughout the game, each with unique stats and skills catering to various playstyles. No matter where the next installment takes us, having loyal canine companions back by our side would make the experience even more enjoyable, especially as we embrace any other significant changes that await us in this new adventure.
