Does Far Cry 6 Ever End?
To clearly answer the question upfront – yes, Far Cry 6 has an ending to the main story campaign where you confront Anton Castillo. However, there are still more adventures to be had for determined guerrilleros!
Far Cry 6‘s Main Story Arc Concludes
By completing all missions leading up to the final operation "The Battle of Esperanza", you resolve Dani Rojas‘ goal of liberating Yara from tyrant Anton Castillo‘s oppressive rule.
- This final mission unlocks after taking down the preceding regional leaders and destabilizing Anton‘s regime pillar by pillar.
- Most main operations take 1-3 hours, with The Battle of Esperanza clocking in around 5 hours based on user reports.
- After an explosive confrontation, the credits will roll on Dani‘s story and core narrative threads.
So while Far Cry 6 is undoubtedly massive, the core storyline does conclude within 15-25 hours on average for most players:
| Game | Main Story Length |
|---|---|
| Far Cry 6 | 15-25 hours |
| Far Cry 5 | 15-20 hours |
| Far Cry 4 | 11-15 hours |
| Far Cry 3 | 14-16 hours |
However, that hasn‘t stopped Ubisoft from providing plenty of additional content…
Secret Ending Provides Early Exit
- As expected for the franchise, Far Cry 6 offers a secret early ending by refusing to cooperate with the Rebellion during a key dialogue choice.
- This ending wraps up Dani‘s arc in less than 5 hours, making it one of the quickest conclusions in the series.
- However, in my opinion as a dedicated fan, it provides less emotional payoff and lacks epic boss fights.
So while credits do roll if you select this option, I only recommend it for players seeking meme value vs. a holistic experience. There‘s too much excellence to miss!
Post-Launch Support Extends the Experience
Ubisoft leveraged free updates to provide recurring content drops, ensuring Yara stays engaging years later.
Major DLC Expansions
- Vaas Insanity (Nov 2021): Roguelike adventure inside Vaas‘s twisted mind. Great fan service!
- Pagan Control (Jan 2022): Take control of Kyrat as Pagan Min against a murderous child. Surreal fun.
- Joseph Collapse (March 2022): Survive nuclear doomsday from Joseph Seed‘s perspective. Emotional sendoff for long-time villain.
I loved the creative premise allowing us to play as iconic baddies from previous games. They provided fresh takes for about 5-10 hours each.
