I mean Wolfenstein (one of the newest ones) said it wasn't political. Far Cry 6 (I think 5 did too) said it isn't supposed to be political even though they interviewed anti-batista Guerilla fighters from Cuba, and looks to be set in Cuba
Edit: NVM i was wrong on Wolfenstein "Is political" but not a commentary on modern day
I think Far Cry is the one I was thinking of that had some anti-imperialist themes but the devs denied the game was political. It seems like it's just an empty statement they can make because they know saying otherwise could invite controversy.
they interviewed anti-batista Guerilla fighters from Cuba
Wait, so it's not supposed to be some weird ass anti-Fidel shit? Or is the bad guy just generic_latam_dictator#1917 and the player is meant to project whatever ideology they hate on him
Far Cry 6 is about the conditions that lead to the rise of fascism in a nation, the costs of imperialism, forced labor, the need for free-and-fair elections, LGBTQ+ rights, and more within the context of Yara, a fictional island in the Caribbean
the Cuban guerilla fighters the team talked to who fought in revolutions in the 1950s and 1960s, they are "absolutely reflected" in Far Cry 6's story and characters. However, those looking for political commentary focused on Cuba specifically will not find it.
But they mentioned being bringing in humor and seeing how FC5 was I expect a basic fascism bad, but also revolutionarys are bad. But I'd love to be proven wrong.
Far Cry is a brand that in its DNA seeks to have mature, complex themes balanced with levity and humor

Lol Wolfenstein is one of the most political mainstream games ever made
I'm not sure, "All Nazi's should die" seems like a pretty apolitical thesis statement to me /s
And it's even deeper too, like some of my favorite parts are the several bits they do about civility politics
Far Cry 5 absolutely nailed it with not being political because the entire story is a hot mess no one could possibly infer any meaning from anyways

Well they said
