Far Cry 5: Hours of Darkness DLC Release Date Details

The Far Cry 5: Hours of Darkness release date has been set arriving on June 5, 2018. In this first set of expansion content players are sent back in time to the Vietnam War. You will step into the shoes of Hope County’s Wendell “Red” Redler, who must find and rescue his fellow squad members from hostile forces. Playable in solo or online co-op, Hours of Darkness transports players from rural Montana to a dangerous jungle where they must rescue imprisoned squad mates, wreak havoc on the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army, and fight to get back home by any means necessary.

It will also feature new gear and abilities as well as two different playable modes that will be unlocked after completion. The two options are Survivor Mode, giving players a limited loadout for a more challenging playthrough, and Action Movie Mode, where a generous loadout delivers over-the-top action.
