Far Cry is a franchise that has fascinated the gamers across the globe for years now. Especially after the recent release of the latest entry featuring none other than popular actor Giancarlo Esposito. He played the merciless role of the villain Antón Castillo.
However, it seems like hardcore lovers of Far Cry are now imagining another famous personality to be a major character in the future installment, in case Ubisoft proceeds with it. It might sound weird at first, but few of the fans, somehow, want former US President Barack Obama to play a role in the next offering.

For those who are not aware, the picture is actually from the former President’s Emmy victory for his documentary series called ‘Our Great National Parks’. Meanwhile, Far Cry players themselves were left awestruck by this unintentional similarity. As one can see, Barack Obama’s pose and the overall aesthetics of the picture do appear to be similar to the iconic game covers from Ubisoft.
Some users even assumed Barack Obama to be the face of the seventh entry in the open-world saga. The latter can be termed as a slightly far-fetched thought, to say the least. Have a look at how the fans reacted to this uncanny resemblance:
