While Far Cry 6 will be set on a tropical island like Far Cry 1 and Far Cry 3, its city could help distinguish it from those games. Esperanza is known as the 'Lion's Den' of Anton Castillo's regime.

Hope County was almost entirely rural, but Yara will have both rural areas and a big city as its capital, Esperanza. Hope County, Montana was an interesting location for Far Cry 5's story to unfold, but Yara has already been able to show off a greater range of locations. A recent gameplay trailer has Dani's mentor describe just some of the environments players can expect: 'bloodthirsty jungles, postcard shorelines, to dead-end towns, and our friendly capital city.' Players will also have the option to ride and fight on horseback for the first time. The setting of Far Cry 6 appears to have more diverse environments than Far Cry 5's. Like the voiced player character, these features are likely intended to show Dani interacting directly with the world more than the protagonist of Far Cry 5. Special powers like the Supremo backpack will also cause the game to go into third-person, and will entering hubs like guerilla camps. When it comes to playing as Dani, Far Cry 6 has been confirmed to have an Assassin's Creed-style notoriety system not seen in Far Cry 5. The trailer focuses on revenge as Dani's main motivation, and shows them interacting with other characters in third-person cutscenes that place them at the center of the story. Players can expect Dani Rojas to have a far more active role in the story beyond combat than Far Cry 5's Junior Deputy. A recent Far Cry 6 gameplay trailer explored Dani's motives, revealing that they are an orphan and implying that their family was killed by Yara's dictator Anton Castillo. Apart from that the character has far more of the trappings of the traditional Far Cry protagonist. Far Cry 6 appears to be finding a far fairer balance between customization and characterization. Players will be able to pick the sex of the next game's protagonist Dani Rojas, which will affect whether the character is voiced by actor Nisa Gunduz or Sean Rey. This lack of definition allowed Far Cry 5 players to totally customize the Junior Deputy's appearance, but in a first-person shooter this was a big price to pay for their lack of characterization. They were only known as the new Junior Deputy in the Hope County Sheriff's Department, and were called by a variety of nicknames from 'Dep' to just 'Rookie.' Not only did they have no voice actor, but they had no unvoiced lines in the story at all. Far Cry 5's protagonist never had a name. Far Cry 4 had Ajay Ghale, unwitting inheritor of Himalayan nation of Kyrat. Far Cry 3 had Jason Brody, a spoiled rich kid whose vacation took a dark turn, and who ended up becoming the 'Ultimate Warrior' of the Rook Islands. One of the biggest criticisms of Far Cry 5 was its lack of a defined player character.
