Far Cry 6 is shown at the 2018 video games awards and my thoughts are Mad Max meets fallout. The story is set following a nuclear fallout and a world reborn in chaos with no government or structure. You play as a hero among villains that raiders and survivors.

Is this a DLC or it’s own game?
If you got the 'good' ending at the end of Far Cry 5, then Hope County, Montana was destroyed (probably with the rest of the world) by a nuclear explosion.
The teaser trailer for the next game talks about how an explosion caused death and "The flames devoured everything" but eventually "years of rain and howling winds gave way to blue skies and a new world in bloom".
This game takes place 17 years later in Hope County. The new base is named Prosperity and it seems you must fight a gang of highway men known as the new order and lead by twin sisters, Mickey and Lou.
Seventeen years after a global nuclear catastrophe, civilization re-emerges from the chaos to find a world dramatically changed. In Hope County, Montana, the remaining populace has divided into different groups, each with their own rules for survival.
While these groups attempt to rebuild their lives, a new threat has arisen, twin sisters Mickey and Lou .
The Twins are completely at home in this new world, having grown up in the harsh conditions caused by a cataclysmic event and learned to survive by any means necessary. They lead a merciless band of scavengers, the Highwaymen, across the country plundering and pillaging for their own benefit and enjoyment. For them, there is no tomorrow – only the present. And the most powerful characters will rule.
Their next stop? Hope County.
With Mickey's calculated planning and Lou's impulsive, unpredictable nature, the two of them make a deadly leadership duo. And having gone to extreme lengths to take over the Highwaymen, they have already shown that they will stop at nothing to stay at the top of the food chain.
Hope County, still recovering from cataclysmic damage after seventeen years, may not be ready for the new danger approaching.
Will you be?
