The Far Cry series has been around since the inception of the first game all the way back in 2004. The series is known for placing players in tropical or otherwise foreign outdoor environments tasked with overcoming threats from both opposing human forces and animals alike. Currently, it is unknown where Far Cry 5 will take place, with previous entries in the series taking place in locations such as a fictional Africa and even the Himalayas. Very little else is known about the future title, but it is likely that the game will hit major consoles and PC once it releases next year.
