Far Cry: Rite of Passage hardcover edition
Bringing in fan-favorite villains, the Dark Horse comic series Far Cry: Rite of Passage is a gritty tale of the intricate road that leads to the ascension to power. The story kicks off as President Antón Castillo’s only son, Diego, has just turned thirteen. But this birthday is more than a celebration—it’s a rite of passage. Antón wishes to teach Diego important lessons in leadership and recounts cautionary tales he has heard about the undoing of three legendary men: Vaas Montenegro, a pirate, Pagan Min, a dictator, and Joseph Seed, a preacher.
The first in the 3-issues mini-series is already out in the US, Canada and the UK. Far Cry: Rite of Passage will be collected in a hardcover format and released on November 30th, 2021 in English and in other territories worldwide.

Hired by a low-key revolutionary movement led by a famous college teacher in Santa Costa, a South-American country where a very precious metal called Tantalium attracts all sorts of interests, Juan ends up in a deadly trap. This adrenaline-fueled graphic novel revisits Far Cry 6 cinematic universe in a savage action-packed story with a fascinating cast of characters. Written by Mathieu Mariolle and illustrated and colorized by Afif Khaled with the help of Salaheddine Basti, Far Cry: Esperanza’s Tears will be published by Glénat Editions in November 2021.
