Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story? Please send an email to. Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News. In our IGN Inside Story about the making of Far Cry's villains, director Clint Hocking confirmed a long-discussed theory that the villain of Far Cry 2 was an older version of the protagonist from Far Cry 1. Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition contains the full Far Cry 2 game, including all previously released patches and the Far Cry 2 Fortunes DLC with additional content listed below. It's not the only Far Cry connection we learned about recently. So, does this mean that Vaas survived after all? And, if so, does Ubisoft have plans to bring him back into the mainline Far Cry games? We know that Vaas will be a playable character in upcoming Far Cry 6 DLC, but that's depicted as an in-world video game, so this cameo might be hinting at something larger in the character's future. Far Cry 3 is set in 2012, while an alternative ending in Far Cry 6 all but confirms that it takes place in 2020 or 2021 by mentioning pandemic lockdowns. In Far Cry 3, protagonist Jason Brody stabs the iconic villain multiple times (although, to be fair, Vaas does appear to be still faintly alive the last time we see him). The thing is, Vaas is very much supposed to be dead.
