Crossover events in video games have become a common occurrence but one of the stranger ones is the Stranger Things crossover that has been added to Far Cry 6. The Stranger Things inspired content is titled The Vanishing and takes Dani into a twisted version of Yara inspired by the Upside Down. Yarans are disappearing and no one is safe, not even the wiener dog on wheels Chorizo which kind of also adds a bit of a John Wick feel to the mission. The Vanishing is a free mission available to all Far Cry 6 players.
To access The Vanishing players will need to have completed the first couple hours or so of Far Cry 6. The missions on Isla Santuario will need to be completed through Libertad Rises. After that Dani will need to visit one of the Guerilla camps and complete the Meet the (fill in the blank) mission. After the Dani will receive a call from Juan and The Vanishing can be found in the Journal under Yaran Stories. The Vanishing features recreations of iconic locations inspired by Stranger Things including an underground laboratory and cold war era bunker. The content takes about an hour to complete which is just enough time to give the mission a sense of fullness without overstaying its welcome. The new environment looks like a twisted alien hellscape and the Kulky controlled people and animals are plentiful.
