A gorgeous new game brings America’s culture war to the forefront — here’s what it’s all about

In January 2016, a few dozen Americans entered and took up defensive positions at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.

The group was armed, comprised of militia group members, and stated an intention to occupy the federally-controlled land until it was turned over to locals.

In February 2018, a video game featuring militant religious separatists who have taken over a rural Montana county is planned for release. It’s the latest volley in the ongoing culture war currently roiling the United States.

This is “Far Cry 5,” a new first-person shooter set in a fictional Montana county that’s being taken over by a local, heavily-armed militia.

The game is very pretty, but it’s also sure to ruffle some easily ruffled feathers.

“Far Cry 5” takes place in (fictional) Hope County, Montana. It’s representative of small town, rural America — lots of outdoor sports and logging, not a lot of museums and malls.

Previous “Far Cry” games brought players to despot-ruled, corruption-laced tropical lands. “Far Cry 5” is the first game in the series set in the US.

The hook with the “Far Cry” series is their massive, open-world environments filled with enemies to kill, animals to hunt, and adventures to be ventured. Think of it like a big sandbox full of very violent toys.

Games take many years to make — especially huge games like “Far Cry 5” — so the game’s setting isn’t tied to any specific current event.

The game’s antagonist is a religious zealot. His name is “The Father” (his actual name is Joseph Seed, but he goes by “The Father”).

Reminiscent of the rogue militia that took over the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, residents in the area aren’t so keen on Joseph Seed and his followers (“The Heralds”). Three in particular are being held up as potential allies in your fight to free Hope County from the religious zealots.

Though some folks in the game are willingly jumping on board with the religious extremists, it seems that the majority are being forced against their will. It’s that conflict that’s at the heart of “Far Cry 5.”

Beyond “The Father,” another preacher appears to be the spiritual leader of the group. Here he is administering a forced baptism.

There appears to be a strict adherence to Christianity, to an extreme where people representative of the seven sins are being hunted down.

But let’s not kid ourselves: At the forefront of “Far Cry 5” is the current cultural climate in the US. Ubisoft knows what it’s doing when it juxtaposes armed militia groups with the kind of Americana painted on the wall below.

And that’s exactly why this game is so ripe for needless controversy — it seemingly courts that controversy in its debut trailer. However you feel about that, the trailer is a strong tease of what looks to be a pretty exciting game. Check it out for yourself right here:
