Story

The game is set in the fictional Hope County, Montana, where a preacher named Joseph Seed has risen to prominence in the region. Seed believes that he has been chosen to protect the people of Hope County from the "inevitable collapse" and has founded a church called Eden's Gate. Ostensibly, this is to fulfill his mission of leading people to salvation; in reality, Seed is a radical preacher and Eden's Gate is a militaristic doomsday cult. Under his rule, Eden's Gate has used both coercion and violence to convert Hope County residents and intimidation to keep them from seeking help from the federal government. When an attempt to arrest Seed ends in the deaths of several law enforcement officers, the player is drawn into the armed conflict between Eden's Gate and the remaining Hope County residents, who band together to form a resistance movement. The player takes on the role of a sheriff who is sent to Hope County to arrest Seed. Seed has taken the title of "the father" and maintains control over Hope County with the help of his siblings, the "heralds": Jacob, a former military officer who oversees the armed soldiers; John, a lawyer who has managed to acquire much of the land in Hope County for Eden's Gate; and Faith, who acts as a pacifist to get people to believe in and trust her older brother. Hope County residents who oppose Seed include Pastor Jerome, a local church leader who watched his congregation taken over by Eden's Gate; Mary May, a bartender whose father was murdered by the cult; and Nick Rye, a pilot who wants to eliminate the cult's influence in order to build a better future for his children.
