After the success of "Far Cry 4," gamers have been itching for a new installment of the video game series. However, fans will be unhappy to hear that the wait for "Far Cry 5" may take more than a year.
The "Far Cry" franchise is well-loved by gamers as it presented a unique gaming style.

"I'll tell you what, we believe Alpha for these games needs to be one year before release. We're trying to achieve that. That's super f------ blunt, I don't even know if I'm allowed to say this. This is the goal we're going for: Alpha one year before, more quality, more polish. So if this means biting the [bullet] and not having an Assassin's game, or a Far Cry [in 2017], f--- it" explained Francois about "Far Cry 5." With that, fans should expect a wait for the release of the new installment.
In the meantime, fans have shared their speculations on what themes "Far Cry 5" will present.
