A post-credits scene in Far Cry 6 answers some questions about the possible return of Far Cry 3 villain Vaas, while raising a few more.

By and on

For a while now, fans have speculated that Far Cry 6 would bring back fan-favorite villain Vaas, one of the antagonists of Far Cry 3. Vaas is the guy who pretty much defined what has become the archetypal Far Cry villain. He’s charismatic, scary, and ruthless, and he has some long and fun bad guy monologues. Hints that Vaas was returning have circulated for more than a year, with actor Michael Mando even suggesting he’d reprise the role, and that’s fueled a lot of fan theories about the villain’s role in Far Cry 6.

Ubisoft revealed earlier this year that Vaas, as well as Far Cry 4 villain Pagan Min and Far Cry 5 villain Joseph Seed, would be playable characters in a Far Cry 6 post-launch DLC expansion. But as it turns out, there’s more to the Vaas story than whatever is going on in that expansion–which seems altogether dream-like and might possibly exist outside the realm of Far Cry 6’s “real world.”
