Recreations ofSkyrim’s locations inFar Cry5are becoming a specialty of YouTuber Mojo Swoptops, after theypreviously recreated Riverwood in the Ubisoft title. In the description, the fan claims that the creation took six hours to build, which is dedication to recreating one of the smallest cities inSkyrim. It’s unknown how much more ofSkyrimthe fan is planning to rebuild inFar Cry 5. To rebuild the full game would be a behemoth task, almost impossible for one person. However, fans will enjoy each slice ofSkyrim’s world as and when it arrives.
