Now, with Hocking’s approval, fans can put that mystery aside and work on something else.įor example, people are still trying to figure out how an atom bomb is in the world of Far away and started a whole war like in New beginning, but now Far Cry 6 seems to just ignore that. But then again, it could have been a placeholder name or an Easter egg for dataminers. The textures of the jackal are actually called “jackcarver”, which it already reveals. A more obvious piece of evidence is found in Far Cry 2‘s files. Both the villainous Jackal and Carver come from similar backgrounds, both smuggling guns and serving in the military.

In an interview with I GN Far Cry 2 ‘s Creative Director Clint Hocking confirmed the fan theory was spot on. It’s crazy that some might scoff at this theory, but this time the fans got it right. They believe Jack Carver, the main character in the original Far away Game and its expansions is actually … the jackal in Far Cry 2! *DRAMATIC MUSIC* (It’s not my favorite Far away Entry, I’m more of a FC3 Dude but i get the call.)īut while the game never says who the jackal was, fans have basically had a solid theory since 2008. 7 t quite go according to plan as you end up catching malaria and the jackal is hiding, forcing you to work with the various belligerent factions while you hunt for the jackal and deal with your disease.
