However, it's likely much more modern than that, not to mention that placing it in the 80s wouldn't work for Vaas again. It's described as a location "frozen in time" and meant to give off a sort-of 80s vibe. Yara, Far Cy 6's location, is an island based on Cuba. RELATED: Ubisoft Confirms New Ubisoft Forward For Later This Year Building from that would suggest, if Diego were Vaas, that Diego escaped, went to the Rook Islands, joined the Rakyat, left the Rakyat, and all of that in 14 years? It's not impossible-it does sound improbable,though-and that's ignoring the fact that Vaas was specifically born in the Rook Islands. Far Cry 3 take place in 2012 (its year of release), and Vaas meets Volker sometime before then. This sets up the first stretch: for Diego (who is 13) to be Vaas, this would mean Far Cry 6 takes place in roughly 1998. Vaas was born in 1985 in the Rook Islands.
Nonetheless, there are legitimate issues as well. Showing too much of Vaas could do the very same, taking away from his mysterious insanity that so many players enjoy. The Child (or Baby Yoda) and the other members of his race that have appeared in Star Wars lore have always been adjacent, but never directly connected nor too revealing. As another example, Yoda is a popular Star Wars character but diving too much into his character is something George Lucas always blocked, as it would explain too much. There's the inherent problem of getting a young Vaas wrong or showing too much of the character, thereby eliminating the allure. Turning eyes away from Diego, which is mostly speculation, to Vaas provides more concrete evidence against these rumors. Turning him into a "good guy" and against his dictator father wouldn't work if it's a prequel at all. As such, that's no means a confirmation, but it seems players may be able to influence Diego. In our Far Cry 6 interview, we asked if players would influence Anton and Diego's relationship, trying to discover if there was more than one way for Diego to end up, and it could not be answered yet. It would seemingly undermine the relationship established thus far and player agency in the game. Ergo, for Vaas to somehow return as Mando teased, this would be a significant time skip in Far Cry 6 that doesn't make a lot of sense. Many have taken this as some sort of pseudo-confirmation, especially after Mando teased reprising the role, but here's the thing: assuming this is true for a moment, Mando is not actually confirmed as a voice actor for the game yet, nor is he Diego for obvious reasons.ĭiego is played by Anthony Gonzalez, and the game seems focused on his relationship with antagonist Anton. However, Diego being Vaas means disconnecting the character from a lot of lore established in Far Cry 3.īefore diving into that, the actors alone are having some fan stoking the flames of these rumors, with Mando commenting on the Diego-Vaas rumor with a mind-blown emoji. It's easy to connect these dots, after all, and many would love to see Vaas return. This, combined with Vaas voice actor Michael Mando teasing a reprised role of Vaas and Esposito's involvement (and his relationship with Mando in general), has led many to draw connections. The first piece of evidence is that both Vaas and Diego feature a slight scar on their eyebrow, a small detail that Diego could have easily gone without.

After all, no villain has quite ever lived up to Vaas Montenegro and bringing him back would guarantee sales, but it would also cause one problem if handled in this way. The premise alone isn't completely out there, as Joseph Seed appears in both Far Cry 5 and Far Cry: New Dawn, and visually, it can be argued strongly. With the game's leaks came rumors, and perhaps the biggest and most prominent right now is that Far Cry 6 is a prequel to Far Cry 3. It still checked all the boxes, but fans have also scribbled more in. Seeing Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito handing his son a grenade, talking about the country of Yara, and more would have been a strong, shocking introduction to the game world. If it hadn't leaked months beforehand followed-up with several leaks just before, Far Cry 6's reveal at Ubisoft Forward would have been something else.
