Far Cry 6’s Danny Trejo mission has been released early, but it’s being pulled

Ubisoft has confirmed it accidently released new Far Cry 6 content starring actor Danny Trejo ahead of schedule.

Players have been able to access what the publisher calls a “work-in-progress” version of the DLC, although it’s in the process of being pulled.

The content is being removed as part of a new title update deployed on Tuesday for the console versions of the game, and releasing for PC, Stadia and Luna “as soon as possible”.

“The Dani & Danny vs Everybody mission is a work-in-progress and was accidentally released early,” Ubisoft said. “We’re working to remove it and look forward to when players can check out the final version.

“We apologize for any confusion caused and will follow up shortly with more information.”

You can watch footage of the Danny Trejo mission in the video embedded below.

Far Cry 6’s latest title update also includes various bug fixes and performance improvements, which we’ve republished in full below.

Far Cry 6 was released on October 7 and has scores of 75 (PS5), 76 (PC) and 80 (Xbox Series X/S) on review aggregator Metacritic.

Some of the game’s harsher reviews, including VGC’s 2/5-star verdict, criticise the title for sticking too closely to a tried and tested formula.

Ubisoft claimed last week that Far Cry 6’s early sales were in line with those of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, a game released in a similar timeframe, and that playtime per user was up 25% compared to Far Cry 5.

The next Far Cry game could shake-up the series with a greater focus on online play, it has been claimed.
