Far Cry 6 and Stranger Things are collaborating for The Vanishing – a new crossover content for Far Cry 6.

Announced through Twitter, a new free Stranger Things crossover is coming this weekend, starting March 24, for all Far Cry 6 players. According to their announcement:

“The Vanishing will bring a stealth-horror-survival gameplay experience to Far Cry players for the first time with mysterious characters and new lore. In The Vanishing, players will enter a twisted version of Yara inspired by the Upside-Down, where Dani discovers that Yarans are disappearing and no one is safe – not even Chorizo. Players will be able to explore 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.”

So, it's not a simple re-skin of Dani Rojas, it's actually a new gaming experience that players can dive deep into.

This crossover didn't exactly come out of the left field, as Far Cry 6 also had a crossover with Rambo last month.
