Director Patrick Clair’s portfolio of thoughtful and resonant title work continues to grow with this somber piece for the upcoming release of Ubisoft’s Far Cry 6, the latest in their open-world first-person shooter franchise.

Patrick Clair: “The creative team behind Far Cry 6 wanted to introduce the game in a way reminiscent of television main titles. The world they’ve created is rich with history, culture, and imagery – it’s a land of cyclical violence and bloody revolutions.

“We wanted to evoke this through a title sequence that melded the time of conquistadors with the uprisings of the 20th century, where meticulously maintained hot rods burn rubber in the streets while the rum flows – where an aspiration to values like universal healthcare and the power of science is corrupted by totalitarian oppression and deep hunger for power at all costs.

“This fascinating world of circular history translated into a poetic string of symbols centered around the icon of a circle.”
