Far Cry 6 Gets Free Weekend and Stranger Things DLC

From March 24th until March 27th, Far Cry 6‘s island of Yara is free to explore.

​

If you were holding off on taking Far Cry 6 for a spin, now might be the right time. Free to download, and preloadable, on Ubisoft Connect and the Epic Games Store, you will be able to dive right into the island of Yara. Seemingly timed, this free weekend is taking place alongside the release of their Stranger Things crossover DLC. If you’re wondering how much of the current content is available, it’s all of it. Including all released DLC to date, right through until the end of the promotion. If you choose to purchase the game after the free weekend, it will be discounted across all platforms. With all of your progress saved and transferred to the full game.

​

The core gameplay behind Far Cry 6 is in its solid open-world shooter experience. With notoriously good villains, outposts to capture and a stealth-combat system. The Stranger Things DLC is being labelled as being a “stealth-horror survival”. Which is sounding like an interesting twist on the norm. Given the unique monsters we’ve come to see in the Stranger Things tv series, it could very well be a horror experience to look forward to. Turning the island of Yara into some freakish, twisted land to explore.
