Male or Female Protagonist? Differences and Which to Choose

This is a guide to the gender options for Far Cry 6's newest protagonist. Here you'll read about a comparison between female and male Dani Rojas, and how gender assignment affects your gameplay experience!

Does Choosing Between Male or Female Affect Gameplay?

Gender Does Not Affect Gameplay

Players are given the decision to choose between a male or female version of Dani Rojas at the start of the game, however this decision does not affect gameplay and any part of the storyline.

Both Genders are Canon for Dani

Both genders are a unified experience for Dani, as expressed by the game's narrative director. That should ease players' rumination over the validity of their playthrough experience as either a male or female Dani Rojas.

After talking to several members of our team, something that was clearly important was not to try and create two different storylines. If you pick male or female, that choice is for you to make, and that journey of Dani will be one and the same.
