Far Cry 4 Coming 2015, Set in Himalayas
Eurogamer have leaked information on the next Far Cry game, confirming that it’ll be very similar to Far Cry 3 but set in a snowier region. Far Cry 4 has been no secret, and was revealed by Ubisoft almost as soon as Far Cry 3 was released, although specific details have yet to be released. With this new leak, we’ve learnt an awful lot about the next title in the franchise, including when we’re likely to catch out first glimpse.
From Eurogamer:
Far Cry 4 will be released in the first half of 2015 and be set around the snowy mountain ranges of the Himalayas, Eurogamer can confirm.
The switch in location marks a drastic change for the adventure series, which is usually more associated with sandy, tropical locales. But it will also pave the way for some new features – such as the ability to saddle up and ride elephants, people familiar with the project told Eurogamer.
Saddle up and ride elephants? That sounds awesome, just don’t let us fix them up with the spanner from Far Cry 2.
The gameplay and even world map will remain similar to that of its predecessor, with different outposts that you can capture as you explore a massive open world. We can expect our first look at Far Cry 4 at Ubisoft’s conference at E3.
