A review of the “Far Cry Timeline”
I realized that there was a page dedicated to the series’ timeline on the Far Cry Wiki, so I decided to review it because… I just couldn’t help myself.
GREEN: Correct information and date.
BLUE: Probably correct but needs to be confirmed.
PINK: Correct information but wrong date (see this post).
ORANGE: Pure fan speculation (date and/or information).
RED: Incorrect information and/or date.
PURPLE: Far Cry and Far Cry 2 lore. I haven’t played these games yet so I can’t tell if the information is accurate.
(The timeline reviewed in this post was last updated on the Wiki in June 2022)

In the 15th century, the Chinese navigator and explorer Zheng He passed by the Rook Islands during a voyage to map the oceans. It was an ideal location for one of Zheng He's most trusted soldiers, Lin Cong. After Zheng He left the isles, Lin Cong stole one of Zheng He's colossal treasure ships named "the Chaoyang" (containing massive amounts of gold and treasure that were collected during Zheng He's many ocean voyages).
Lin Cong and his Chinese invaders ruled over Rook Islands where the natives suffered under their tyrannical reign.
