If you enjoyed Far Cry's map editing tools in previous games, unfortunately the team has confirmed that the mode won't be returning for Far Cry 6.
In a Reddit AMA, the team was asked whether the map editor would return, in which the response was confirmed to be no. The game's director Alexandre Letendre said that Arcade Mode - which replaced the map editor in Far Cry 5, but acted very similarly - will not be included, adding that it was a "difficult decision", but one that allowed them to focus on the main campaign.
No, Arcade will not come back. Removing this mode from our plan was a difficult decision, but allowed us to focus our efforts on the main campaign, transporting players into the heart of a modern-day guerrilla revolution.
The map editor has been a huge part of the experience since Far Cry 2, and has seen some crazy inventions over the years. Far Cry 5 even went as far as to incorporate it into its main multiplayer mode, allowing players to battle it out across fanmade stages. It's a shame it won't be returning, but if it makes for a stronger single player experience, then hopefully we;ll still be very happy with the result.

I do enjoy a good farcry campaign and don’t care for the other modes.
This leads me back to developers trying to do to much in a game and Ubisoft are good at spotting this to ensure the game releases and is of good quality AAA, especially with Covid and working from home etc adding to the Strain of game development and developers.
It was my main criticism of Halo Infinite and trying to have a massive new campaign, multiplayer the forge etc and in multiple formats, stretching the developers and work force far to much during Covid times.
Sony and Nintendo take the path of least hassle, here’s your game a big single campaign no multiplayer etc etc and let’s be honest again it works sales wise and PR wise.
Still has Co-op so I'm good
I will not miss it. Ubisoft already does too much to pad their gameplay time. I'd rather just get a great campaign one and done than to get modes they won't support after release anyways.
Had no clue the game had a map editor and I played most of the games… is the map editor PC only?
Co-op is definitely more important.
I am a big fan of Arcade in FC5 so no Arcade in FC6 is disappointing. However i can hope that an Arcade mode may be added after release like an added dlc. If not then i will play some more FC5 Arcade.
