I’ve finally read Far Cry: Les Larmes d’Esperanza!

It’s a French graphic novel set in the Far Cry 6 universe. The story follows Juan Cortez who travels to the fictional country of Santa Costa, where three factions are fighting for power and a new mining resource called “Tantale” has recently been discovered, to offer his services as a mercenary… and guerrilla expert.

The book takes place before the game and is officially described as a prequel, but it can totally be read as a standalone. Most of the characters never appear in Far Cry 6, and even though what happens in Santa Costa is reminiscent of the situation in Yara, the story is self-contained and doesn’t affect the game.

Far Cry: Les Larmes d’Esperanza (“the tears of Esperanza”) is dispensable... but enjoyable, especially if you’re a Far Cry 6 and/or Juan Cortez fan! I won’t spoil the plot twists but I still want to talk a bit about continuity and the other Far Cry characters who appear in the book. Minor spoilers below…

In my opinion, Juan’s characterization doesn’t contradict who he is in Far Cry 6. The book talks about his addiction problems while showing how effective and talented at his “job” he can be, and expands a little on his backstory. For example, his childhood is very briefly mentioned and it’s “revealed” where he got the inspiration for the Supremo backpacks (or their names, at least): comic books.

I initially assumed the events of the book were set several years before the game because I thought Juan looked younger, but his adventures in Santa Costa happened shortly before he started working with Libertad. Antón is barely mentioned but already in power and, according to Juan, they are approximately the same age.

In Far Cry 6, a letter from Willis Huntley revealed that he and Juan had worked together in the past. In Les Larmes d’Esperanza, they do it again. Here is Willis (on the right) with a formally dressed Juan:

Longinus also makes an appearance. In the game, he was acquainted with Sean McKay. In the book, he has apparently known Juan for a long time and frequently supplies him with equipment.

For some reason, Hurk is here too and works for Juan at one point. There was no known connection between the two characters in Far Cry 6, so this really looks like fan service to me… Still, it’s always fun to see Hurk and it’s not impossible that he and Juan know each other, after all.

Juan also sees Vaas and Pagan in a fever dream… for no particular reason.

That said, the book feels more like a derivative work than an integral part of Far Cry 6, so those “fan service moments” didn’t bother me as much as they usually do.

Finally, after Juan’s mission in Santa Costa is over, Clara approaches him, which “explains” how and why he started working with her.

However, Guapo sadly never makes an appearance…
