Ubisoft has just launched the Far Cry 6 Rambo crossover with a mission that is available in the game for free. The mission is inspired from and pays homage to the first three Rambo movies and is available for all players who own the game.
The Far Cry 6 Rambo crossover event comes after Ubisoft signed a deal with STUDIOCANAL, rights holder from Rambo 1-3 movies in order to bring this special event to life.
In “All the Blood”, players will meet and help a RamboTM superfan against the Yaran military in a blood-soaked rampage of vengeance straight out of an 80’s action blockbuster, blending stealth with over-the-top action and references to iconic RamboTM moments. Upon completing the mission, players will unlock the Vengeance Bow, a deadly explosive weapon effective against helicopters and heavy units.
Players will also be able to buy the Rambo Bundle that gives them access to Rambo-inspired gear to customize the characters, featuring iconic gear, weapon, vehicle, and more from cinema’s most notorious guerrilla soldier.
Ever since its worldwide release back in October last year, the game has added new Special Operations, a Danny Trejo mission, as well as two major DLC as part of the Season Pass, Vaas: Insanity and Pagan: Control. A third and final DLC called Joseph: Collapse will also release shortly.
Far Cry 6 is available worldwide on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation5, PlayStation4, as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store. Players can also subscribe to Ubisoft+ on PC, Stadia, and Amazon Luna.
Ubisoft also announced that it plans to reshape its internal esports team into one Esports and Competitive Division. This will be a newly consolidated global team which will continuously develop Ubisoft’ s competitive gaming activity in local territories through regional and local experts.
