Part 8/12:
Beyond casting, Far Cry 6's trailer and promotional materials have also come under scrutiny. Critics observed a yellowish filter applied in the trailer, claiming it perpetuates stereotypical tropes associated with non-Western countries. However, some pointed out that this might be a misinterpretation, as the visual effects seem to serve artistic purposes rather than signaling cultural bias.
The game itself features a fictional Caribbean dictatorship ruled by Anton Castillo, with players taking on the role of guerrilla fighters seeking liberation. While the storyline follows familiar resistance tropes, critics argue that Ubisoft’s depiction may inadvertently reinforce certain stereotypes about Latin American regimes or oversimplify complex political realities.
