Despite this, some players have theorized previously that Vaas actually survived the encounter, despite him not appearing in Far Cry 3's DLC or any other titles in the series. This helped cement the character in the minds of fans even before the game's release with his insanity speech only helping solidify his iconic place within the games industry.Įventually, Vaas is seemingly killed in Far Cry 3 when Jason Brody enters a drug-infused state and fights him, ultimately stabbing Vaas in the chest multiple times. Despite this, Vaas was featured not only on the cover of Far Cry 3 but in most of the game's marketing material as well. What is most impressive about this feat is that Vaas is not even the main antagonist of Far Cry 3 as he is merely an underling of Hoyt. His monologue speeches about insanity not only became a well-known meme but also set the benchmark that all future Far Cry villains have been compared to. Vaas Montenegro's role in Far Cry 3 left a big mark on the Far Cry franchise.

However, some players are already reporting that he doesn't live up to some of the more iconic villains from throughout the series like the Jackal or Vaas. Played by Breaking Bad actor Giancarlo Esposito in Far Cry 6, Anton brings some weight to the game's narrative. Of course, the credits roll after the player is done dealing with the dictator of Yara, Anton Castillo.


That is, at least, until after Far Cry 6's credits roll. Beyond both games taking place on an island, there are not any meaningful narrative threads between the two. Far Cry 3 takes place on the fictional Rook Island in 2012 while Far Cry 6 is set in 2021 on the Cuba-inspired island of Yara. On the surface, the two games are very different from one another.

Entries in the Far Cry series are loosely tied to one another, making it all the more surprising that the newly released Far Cry 6 seems to be connected to the classic Far Cry 3.
