Hour of Darkness comes to Far Cry 5 next month

Ubisoft has announced that the first expansion for Far Cry 5, Hours of Darkness, will release on all platforms on June 5 and will transport players back in time as they play Hope County’s Wendell “Red” Redler, who must find and rescue his fellow squad members from hostile forces during the Vietnam War.

In addition to new story content, Far Cry Arcade will also get new content, based on the Vietnam location. Those assets are available now, meaning you can get to creating today, ahead of the story release next month.

Far Cry 5: Hours of Darkness transports players into a war-torn Vietnam as they relive the harrowing experience of Wendell Redler from the main campaign of Far Cry 5. Playable in solo or online co-op, Hours of Darkness transports players from rural Montana to a dangerous jungle where they must rescue imprisoned squad mates, wreak havoc on the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army, and fight to get back home by any means necessary. This first DLC adventure will feature new gear and abilities as well as two different playable modes that will be unlocked after completing Hours of Darkness: Survivor Mode, giving players a limited loadout for a more challenging playthrough, and Action Movie Mode, where a generous loadout delivers over-the-top action.

The content will be available to buy on its own, or players can opt to purchase the Season Pass, to save some money.
