Cillian Murphy won't be in Far Cry 7, says Ubisoft leaker and YouTuber j0nathan.
This comes after j0nathan teased new details about the Far Cry sequel with a series of images, one being of actor Cillian Murphy. Many believed that this was j0nathan's way of suggesting Murphy would be in the game in some capacity, something the leaker now denies.
In response to the original post, j0nathan writes: "Mind you, I NEVER said Cillian Murphy was going to be in the game. The image means something else." This backs the other theories raised in the leaker's replies, such as the protagonist being called Murphy, or the game being set in Ireland.
On top of the image of Murphy, there were three other pictures attached to the original post. One shows an explosive with a 72-hour countdown, the next is a huge crab, and the final one if the number seven.
It's fair to assume that these images will amount to something, even if it's not the big reveal we initially believed it to be. J0nathan's previous leaks include accurately revealing details on Assassin's Creed Mirage ahead of its announcement, after all, so we might just have to wait until the YouTuber has something more concrete for us.
The 72-hour countdown referenced by j0nathan will likely amount to something at least, as a previous leak also suggested that the main objective will be time dependent.
In the meantime, Ubisoft hasn't even confirmed that Far Cry 7 is in development. However, given how much of a huge series it is for the studio, it's safe to assume that it is. In fact, previous reports have indicated that two games are in the works, with one being multiplayer-focused. That might mean that the second game is Far Cry 7, although it's unclear which one Ubisoft is prioritising at this time.
Still, we're rapidly approaching the summer months, so we could get something from official channels sooner rather than later. For the time being, Ubisoft has not commented on this latest wave of speculation, so it
