The 42-second teaser gives us a few glimpses of the backdrop forFar Cry 5, although all of it appears to be live-action footage as opposed to cutscenes or gameplay. It appears the game’s setting will be in the US state of Montana, in the fictional Hope County.

The teaser opens with a distant cry presumablyout of pain which startles a flock of birds out of their perches sending them flying amok. Next, is a scene from a river where a body is seen floating across the frame, which is followed by a man running through a field only to be shot down by a high calibrerifle. The final shot is that of a church with a man being used as a face-based bellringer.

The visuals are so stunning that one may missthe sinister undertone to each shot. The game looks absolutely gripping and only time can tell whether the gameplay will actually be as enticing as the teaser in terms of visual quality.
