After over a month of rumors, Far Cry 4 is now official. Developed in-house by Ubisoft, it’s set in the Himalayas, a new location for the series. The extreme geography of the region will provide challenge and beautiful vistas.
Arriving November 18th, it’s currently planned to release on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Below is a description of the title:
Taking a sharp turn away from the lush island jungles of the top-rated Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4 is set in Kyrat, an untamed region currently ruled by a despotic self-appointed king. But don’t be lulled into a false sense of security by the achingly beautiful views; Kyrat is a wild land full of perils. Once again, players will be able to craft their own stories as they travel through this exotic open world teeming with wildlife – using their wits along with an assortment of powerful weapons and diverse vehicles.
“Following the success of Far Cry 3, we wanted to take the franchise to the next level and create a game that will surprise players and exceed fans’ expectations,” said Dan Hay, Executive Producer. “Given the unique setting, we feel Far Cry 4 will stand out as a top first-person shooter and we’re eager to reveal more about the game in the coming months.”P
