Following Far Cry 6's gameplay reveal and October 7 release date confirmation, Ubisoft said it "doesn't want to make a political statement" on the state of Cuba with the open-world shooter.

Narrative director Navid Khavari told TheGamer that Ubisoft is trying to balance serious storytelling and engaging action in Far Cry 6 without commenting on real-world events--even after speaking to actual guerrilla fighters who serve as the inspiration for the open-world shooter's fantasy.

"The original inspiration was Guerrilla Warfare and what is that guerrilla fantasy, which is obviously tied to revolution," Khavari said. "When you talk about guerrillas, you think of the guerrillas in the 1950s and 1960s, we actually went down there to speak to actual guerrilla fighters who fought back then, and we just really fell in love with their stories.”
