cry announced release far cry 4

Ubisoft on Thursday revealed that Far Cry 4 will arrive on November 18 in North America for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC. True to the franchise, it’ll be an open-world first-person shooter according to a press release on the matter.

Unlike previous iterations, Far Cry 4 will take place in Kyrat, an untamed fictional region of the Himalayas ruled by a self-appointed king. The area is said to be full of wildlife and various perils that will force gamers to use their wits as well as an assortment of diverse vehicles and powerful weapons to survive.

The title was developed as a joint effort between Ubisoft Montreal, Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Kiev.

Executive producer Dan Hay said after the success of Far Cry 3, the team wanted to take the franchise to the next level and create a game that will surprise players and exceed fans’ expectations. Given the unique setting, they believe Far Cry 4 will stand out as a top first-person shooter and they are eager to reveal more about the title in the coming months.

The game is currently available for pre-order and as is often the case, doing so will net you some useful bonus material. Early buyers will receive the Limited Edition copy of the game which includes three single-player missions featuring Hurk from Far Cry 3 as well as the signature Hurk harpoon gun known as The Imapler.

Ubisoft will reveal the first gamplay footage from Far Cry 4 at E3 on June 9.

I wonder if they dropped the pointless "crafting" system? I know I'd really like to carry more bullets for my gun but finding 4 speckle tailed woolly tufted albino sand yaks to make the ammo belt added so much to the game.
 
I will definitely pre-order this, but want to see what other pre-order offers come out first. Great to see that they've brought that bone-head Hurk back. He was funny as hell!

Love the Far Cry series - one of the best in gaming. :)
 
Im always incredibly interested...I like the wits element of FC3, but would like to see it even more expanded.

Id also like to stop running out of ammo. but im early in.

Theres nothing more entertaining than watching from the bushes as a tiger takes out an entire pirate village.
 
Yes this made my day! Always loved the Far Cry series and you can tell that they put work into it to make it great overall
