Far Cry 5 featured a pretty colorful cast of characters from the eccentric and messed up Seed family, seemingly crazy Nick Rye, to Pastor Jerome, a charismatic Gulf War veteran and former sergeant who found religion, and has served as a Roman Catholic priest in Hope County for 15 years after the end of his military service. His life has changed drastically once he met Joseph "The Father" Seed.
During the events of
Far Cry 5, Jerome became a key figure in The Resistance in Fall's End, determined to take Hope County back, and end the radicals’ oppression. Fans of the character should be pleased to hear that, unlike Boomer the Dog, the pastor has survived the ending of
Far Cry 5 and the nuclear war, as he's back in
Far Cry: New Dawn to lead a group of despaired refugees and help the player's avatar.
In the extended gameplay footage that you can check out down below, the IGN crew explains what the
Far Cry 5 narrative sequel is all about, also featuring the unexpected return of Jerome at the very end of the video to lend the player a hand and give him a new, shiny rifle. Be sure to take a look at over six minutes of gameplay from an alpha build of the recently announced
Far Cry New Dawn:
Dive into a transformed vibrant post-apocalyptic Hope County, Montana, 17 years after a global nuclear catastrophe. Join fellow survivors and lead the fight against the dangerous new threat the Highwaymen, and their ruthless leaders The Twins, as they seek to take over the last remaining resources.
Far Cry: New Dawn launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 15, 2019.
