What will the storyline involve for Far Cry 5?

The idyllic Montana landscapes paint a vivid picture of a rural farming community known as Hope County. The sleepy little town is under siege by a fast growing religious cult and a militia of doomsday-preppers, known collectively as the Eden’s Gate Project. The player takes on the role of a rookie junior deputy who will be assisted by two other officers. The player will arrive in Hope County just in time to witness the Eden’s Gate Project expanding to start coming into Hope County with the intentions of recruiting new members from the town.

The Eden’s Gate Project group follow the motto of “Freedom, Faith, Firearms” and have spread their influence throughout the region vastly in the past, to the point that the player should feel slightly overwhelmed. The group have also spread through parts of the County already making it very hard to keep track of their expansion in Hope County. The developers relayed that the player should feel a constant feeling that no place is safe, no matter how familiar, and also to impart a sense of pressure and impending doom.
