Sequel To The #1 Rated Shooter of 2012*
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — May 15, 2014 — Today, Ubisoft announced Far Cry 4, an open-world, first-person shooter that delivers the most expansive and immersive Far Cry experience ever. Far Cry 4 will be available November 18 in the US and November 20 in the EMEA territories for PlayStation 4® computer entertainment system, PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.
Development on Far Cry 4 is being led by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Red Storm Entertainment, a Ubisoft studio, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Kiev.
In Far Cry 4, players find themselves in Kyrat, a breathtaking, perilous and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king. Using a vast array of weapons, vehicles and animals, players will write their own story across an exotic open-world landscape.
“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.”
Customers who pre-order Far Cry 4 receive a free upgrade to the Limited Edition which includes Hurk’s Redemption, a series of three action-packed single-player missions featuring the popular character Hurk from Far Cry 3’s DLC. The Limited Edition also includes Hurk’s signature harpoon gun called “The Impaler”. The pre-order is now available at all major retailers.

Commented on 2014-05-15 19:38:44 In reply to KORNdogReally wish Ubisoft had released a trailer with the announcement, they didn't even release in-game images, which is weird. And I know they might be saving the game's trailer/gameplay video(s) to their E3 press conference, but if so, why even announce it now?!
It certainly would have made a whole lot more of an impact showing the game at E3 than just a press release with the cover art now, which does almost nothing for me. Anyway, as long as it's as great as FC3, this will be day 1 for me.

Unfortunately, that means creating games with last-gen versions. The install base isn’t big enough (and won’t be by this fall) to support the sales volume Ubisoft needs for games like Far Cry 4."

Vaas Montenegro: "Do you know the definition of insanity?"
