A player has recently recreated Game of Thrones’ Winterfell using Far Cry 5’s map editor. The Far Cry 5 player did an impressive job, creating a detailed area that greatly resembles the one seen in the popular TV show.
Released in 2018, Far Cry 5 is one of the most popular entries in the franchise. Set in the fictional Hope County in Montana, the United States, Far Cry 5 sold over 10 million units over the years. Apart from having a sprawling single-player storyline and a huge explorable area, Far Cry 5 also comes with an in-depth map editor, and many gamers have employed it to create areas that can be used in online multiplayer, or homages to other series.
According to some rumors, Far Cry 7’s approach to its villain could lend itself to a revival of a FC5 feature that would match its design quite well.
Now, one gamer called mojoswoptops2020 remade Game of Thrones’ Winterfell in Far Cry 5. Known as the home of the Stark family in the popular TV show, Winterfell has a big castle with tall stone walls, and the whole area was recreated by the player and shared on Reddit with a stunning picture. According to mojoswoptops2020, the map was created using the map editor on the Xbox Series X, and the whole project took around three hours to complete. One curious detail shared by the player is that what looks like birds in the sky above Winterfell are just randomly rotated stick shapes, which amused some gamers.
Winterfell Recreated Using Far Cry 5’s Map Editor
This is far from the first time that mojoswoptops2020 shares a homage to another franchise using Far Cry 5’s map editor, though. Last year, for example, the prolific fan rebuilt Fallout 3’s Megaton in Far Cry 5. The result was fairly detailed and quite amazing, as the creation had an uncanny similarity to the version of Megaton created in Bethesda’s game.
Another interesting creation made by the same fan was Fallout: New Vegas’ city of Nipton remade in Far Cry 5. This place had incredible vibes and greatly reminded players of the desert city destroyed by Caesar’s Legion in the game, looking like a place from a completely different title instead of the Far Cry series.
Back in 2023, mojoswoptops2020 even recreated the famous Eiffel Tower in Far Cry 5, sharing a photo of the beautiful Parisian landmark and impressing some gamers with how realistic the project looked. Hopefully, either this prolific creator or some other fan will continue to use Far Cry 5 to imagine interesting places and share them with the community.
