Ubisoft has officially announced that Far Cry 4 will be released on November 18 in the U.S. for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC platforms. The open-world, first-person shooter will “deliver the most expansive and immersive Far Cry experience ever,” according to Ubisoft. Far Cry 4′s development is being led by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Red Storm Entertainment, a Ubisoft studio, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Kiev.
In the latest instalment of the Far Cry series, players will find themselves in Kyrat, a breathtaking and dangerous region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic, self-appointed king. Players will write their own story using a plethora of weapons, vehicles and animals across the exotic, open-world landscape.
Those who pre-order Far Cry 4 will receive a free upgrade to the Limited Edition which includes Hurk’s Redemption, a series of three action-packed, single-player missions featuring Hurk from Far Cry 3′s DLC. The Limited Edition will also come with Hurk’s signature harpoon gun “The Impaler.”
More information on Far Cry 4 will come at Ubisoft’s press conference at this year’s E3.
“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.”
