It also suggests that Vaas remains something of a powerful criminal and pirate, possibly working for himself now, rather than serving a higher boss as in Far Cry 3. It calls into question Juan's motives as a member of the Libertad freedom fighters (although this isn't the first time he's seemed morally questionable throughout the game) and raises the possibility of Dani's ally becoming a potential enemy sometime in the future, as multiple forces vie for control of the country and the lucrative Viviro production industry.

If the Far Cry timeline Ubisoft has now created puts FC3 before FC6, and Vaas is currently still alive, this scene also makes some suggestions about the future of Yara. That seems fully possible, since the battle with Vaas in that game was already a strange dream-like vision, with no indication of whether it was "real." We don't really get enough information in Far Cry 6 to know for sure when that story takes place, however. But if it's after, that tells us that Vaas must have survived what seemed like his demise at the hands of FC3 protagonist Jason. If it's before, then Vaas might just be a smuggler selling Viviro along with other drugs sometime before he's killed in Far Cry 3. What's not clear, however, is whether this scene, and Far Cry 6 in general, takes place before or after Far Cry 3. Vaas also mentions Diego during the discussion, making it obvious they're two separate people. Since he's a drug smuggler and pirate in Far Cry 3, that all tracks. Vaas, from the sounds of things, is a black market contact-Juan is selling Viviro and Vaas is buying. Juan says that deposing Castillo has resulted in triple the production of Viviro, the life-saving cancer drug unique to Yara in the game and which Castillo was using slave labor to grow and manufacture.

Though there are no visuals for the scene, it sounds like Juan might be meeting Vaas on a dock somewhere for a business deal. So What Does This Mean For Vaas? Fans thought Diego could grow up to be Vaas, but Far Cry 6 makes it very clear that's not the case.Īgain, we're avoiding spoilers for Far Cry 6 as much as possible, but we're about to discuss what happens in the post-credits scene, so be warned. Still, while the post-credits scene answers that question, it raises a bunch more. The post-credits scene and the events of Far Cry 6 make it definitively clear that Vaas and Diego are not the same person. We can say for sure that this theory is wrong, though. That would allow Far Cry 6 to link to Vaas's life without dealing with one particularly glaring issue with bringing the character back: Vaas died in Far Cry 3. Shaped by his experiences as the son of a brutal dictator and a target in a revolution, Diego's life in Yara would eventually lead him to become a brutal and murderous drug-smuggling pirate. Fan theories circulated that Far Cry 6 was actually set before Far Cry 3 and would serve as a prequel, with some guessing that 13-year-old Diego Castillo, the son of Anton and a major character throughout the story, would grow up to be Vaas. The other is Vaas, which raises a lot of questions about how Far Cry 6 and Far Cry 3 are linked, and what the post-credits scene is teasing for the future.įirst, some details and a bit of debunking. One is Juan Cortez, the guerrilla mentor of protagonist Dani Rojas. You're treated to a black screen, Metal Gear Solid-style, over which you can hear a conversation between two people. Make it through the entirety of Far Cry 6's story campaign, waging a successful guerrilla war against dictator Anton Castillo across the fictional island nation of Yara, and you'll be treated to a post-credits scene. 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." 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.
