Why ‘Far Cry 5’ Will Be (Much) More Than Meets the Eye

You can read as much or as little as you like into Ubisoft's Far Cry 5 announcement trailer. The game, a sandbox adventure set in fictional Hope County, Montana (due Feb. 27, 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One), pits players, in the guise of a law enforcement deputy, against a doomsday cult led by a figure who intones aphorisms like "My children, I am here to tell you that suffering is a choice, and you can choose a better path." That sounds Buddha enough, but watch the trailer for the rest.
