The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Hope County, Montana, 18 months after the events of Far Cry 5. The story follows a new protagonist, a rookie outlaw, as they try to rebuild the community and take down the tyrannical leader, Joseph Seed, who's been trying to take over the county. Along the way, you'll encounter a cast of colorful characters, each with their own agendas and motivations.

Far Cry New Dawn presents a vibrant, "superbloom" post-apocalyptic setting that serves as a direct narrative sequel to Far Cry 5, focusing on resilience and rebuilding in a mutated Hope County, Montana. The game features a shift toward light RPG mechanics, such as tiered crafting, and explores a thematic clash between the builders of Prosperity and the destructive Highwaymen faction.

: Unlike previous games, you can "scavenge" an outpost you've captured. This gives you immediate resources but allows the Highwaymen to retake it with higher difficulty and better rewards.
