Far Cry 5 is only a few weeks away from release and while a ton of carnage and mayhem can be expected from the latest in the blockbuster franchise, Ubisoft is introducing a new way to get to know the cast that you’ll be meeting while playing the upcoming title.
A new podcast series called “Hope Country Stories” has debuted as a partnership between Ubisoft and the long-running Gamertag Radio, with a new episode coming each week from the podcasts’ hosts as they interview and get stories from the citizens of Far Cry 5‘s Hope County setting, including several characters that will be featured in the upcoming game.
In a tweet from Gamertag Radio’s Danny Pena, the first episode is available now and highlights Pastor Jerome Jeffries, both in his current role as a priest in Hope County and his role within the town’s Resistance movement trying to fight back against the cult leader, Joseph Seed. Likewise, the first episode also introduces Joseph Seed for a bit more backstory on his role in leading Eden’s Gate.
Far Cry 5 will release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on March 27th, 2018 – in the meantime, you can check out the first episode of the game’s Hope Country Stories podcast below, which will debut new episodes every Wednesday. You can also check out a new trailer that released today that gives the spotlight to Joseph Seed, the game’s main antagonist.
