However, Diego being Vaas means disconnecting the character from a lot of lore established in Far Cry 3.īefore diving into that, the actors alone are having some fan stoking the flames of these rumors, with Mando commenting on the Diego-Vaas rumor with a mind-blown emoji. It's easy to connect these dots, after all, and many would love to see Vaas return. This, combined with Vaas voice actor Michael Mando teasing a reprised role of Vaas and Esposito's involvement (and his relationship with Mando in general), has led many to draw connections.

The first piece of evidence is that both Vaas and Diego feature a slight scar on their eyebrow, a small detail that Diego could have easily gone without.

After all, no villain has quite ever lived up to Vaas Montenegro and bringing him back would guarantee sales, but it would also cause one problem if handled in this way.

The premise alone isn't completely out there, as Joseph Seed appears in both Far Cry 5 and Far Cry: New Dawn, and visually, it can be argued strongly. With the game's leaks came rumors, and perhaps the biggest and most prominent right now is that Far Cry 6 is a prequel to Far Cry 3. It still checked all the boxes, but fans have also scribbled more in. Seeing Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito handing his son a grenade, talking about the country of Yara, and more would have been a strong, shocking introduction to the game world. If it hadn't leaked months beforehand followed-up with several leaks just before, Far Cry 6's reveal at Ubisoft Forward would have been something else.
