London, UK — 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.

Development on Far Cry® 4 is being led by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Ubisoft’s Red Storm Entertainment, 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.

The Limited Edition also includes Hurk’s signature harpoon gun called “The Impaler”. The pre-order is now available at all major retailers.
Fans can tune into Ubisoft’s Media Briefing at E3 for an exclusive first look at Far Cry® 4.
Elbow to the crotch, drop grenade, run like crazy in any direction!
I really liked FC3, and I am a big fan of FC2 (except the re-spawning enemies, that got pretty old, though it didn’t stop me from putting like 80 hours into it) and as such this is probably a day one for me, depending on how it starts to shape up. I hope there is a wider variety of things to do in the sandbox though.
Who and when was it decided it would be a great idea for stuff posted on the interwebs to be written like this?
I recall the first time I saw it when working with web services back in 2003 and it looked as strange then as it does now.
Maybe the bad guy in this game is more nuanced that the cover makes it seem, but holy shit that looks dumb and makes me think the game will be homophobic.
Totally in. If it is as much fun as FC3, then I will probably be in for a few play-throughs. I had problems with some of the writing in FC3, but all the island adventures and mini-games kept me going. Plus, the first time you stealth-kill and entire camp or ambush and rescue some civvies, it doesn’t get much better than than feeling.
