Far Cry Absolution, the first novel based on the Far Cry franchise, is now available. Set before the events of Far Cry 5, Absolution follows Will, a trusted member of the cult who starts to see the truth behind The Project at Eden's Gate. He teams up with local Hope County barkeep Mary May Fairgrave, who has taken matters into her own hands after the authorities refused to help her investigate her father's death. We had a chance to speak to author Urban Waite about how Will fell in with The Project at Eden's Gate, how the novel explores the powerful appeal of the cult, and Waite's own reaction to reading the Far Cry 5 game script ("Can you actually put that in a video game?").
You'll be able to continue the story and take on The Project at Eden's Gate when Far Cry 5 hits PS4, Xbox One, and PC on March 27. For more information on the game, check out our previous coverage.
