To coincide with the free weekend, Ubisoft announced The Vanishing, a new, free Stranger Things crossover mission, available today for all Far Cry 6 players. The Vanishing brings a stealth-horror-survivor gameplay experience to Far Cry players for the first time with mysterious characters and new lore. In The Vanishing, players enter a twisted version of Yara inspired by the Upside-Down, and Dani discovers that Yarans are disappearing and no one is safe – not even Chorizo. Players can explore recreations of iconic Stranger Things-inspired locations, such as a hidden bunker and an abandoned laboratory. Dani’s mission – with new skins for a flamethrower and shotgun – is to search for Chorizo and find out what happened to the abducted Yarans.
