There is one rumoured feature in the game that might have the potential to transform the way Far Cry is perceived. However, it might not be the best thing for one of the better features of the game since the beginning.

According to speculations made after the rumor of a timer being added to Far Cry 7, there is a high chance that we might have to bid farewell to the feature that reduces the mundanity of the game’s open world.

However, it is still not certain how the in-game clock will be implemented and what affects it might have on the other features. It is, however, fair to say that if a clock is introduced in the game, it is going to have an adverse effect on the fast travel feature.

It cannot be possible that if you are supposed to finish the game in a limited amount of time that the privilege of fast travel will be included. Fast travel has since long enabled players to travel long distances in the matter of seconds, from one hideout to the next.

According to rumors, the time limit to finish the game would be around 72 in-game hours, which translates to 24 real-life hours. There have been many other rumors about the game.

If the clock were to be imbibed, then even the exploration of the entire map for side quests and resources will be included in that time frame. It is highly unlikely that the option of pausing the clock would be available since it would then not make a lot of sense to include the clock in the first place.

The Far Cry franchise has become stale over the years and in much need of reshaping, and the inclusion of the rumored feature might be the thing that the game needs. Timer can also bring a lot of interesting changes to the gameplay and redefine the way Far Cry is looked upon.

Fast travel could also be changed to high-speed transport strategically planted across the map for people to commute long distances. This will not only increase the relatability of the game but would also be a cool addition that will compliment the timer.

However, nothing can be said for certain as of now since there has been complete silence from Ubisoft’s end, and it is highly unlikely that we might hear something from it soon.

Nevertheless, it would be exciting for the next Far Cry game to lift the curse off of the franchise and give it a fresh start. What is your opinion on the rumored clock? Let us know in the comments below.
