first out of the blocks this online—only e3 where ubisoft.afted in an actor who's broken bad and mopped up a mandalorian to star as the villain in their new game, far cry 6. these fish? giancarlo esposito is starring as anton castillo, the big bad running a fictional caribbean dictatorship in open world shooter far cry 6. the title's brought into sharp focus the issue of politics, or political themes, in games. the reality is every piece of work that you put out in the world is political to some degree. whether it's a film, a book, a tv show or game, far cry 6 is no different. so what interests me is, you know, what are we talking about? what themes are we hitting, you know? for example, we talk about the rise of fascism, we talk about human rights, we talk about imperialism in the context of a revolution, a modern revolution. after developing the tie—in game to james cameron's first avatar movie — a title which, it's fair to say, failed to set pandora alight — ubisoft�*s having another stab at a game starring nine foot tall blue cat people.
