If Square Enix had made Far Cry New Dawn, it would be called Far Cry V-2, or maybe Far Cry 5: Hope County Returns. In an unusual twist. Ubisoft made a Far Cry game that was a direct sequel to the last one. While previous Far Cry games have always contained homages, nods, and references insinuating that all of the games take place within the same universe, Far Cry New Dawn is the only one to follow up directly on the events of a previous game. It might be a couple decades later and you might be playing as a new character, but the things that happened in Far Cry 5 are essential to explaining the world of New Dawn.
