Far Cry 4 Is Coming

Ubisoft has confirmed the inevitable, and it's headed our way later this year.

Not only was Far Cry 3 a big success for Ubisoft, but it was a pretty damn good game, too. It's why we're getting Far Cry 4 later this year, confirming longstanding rumors of another open world sequel.

No Caption Provided

Ubisoft stealthily announced Far Cry 4 as part of its financial results today.

The game, which takes place in the Himalayas, is scheduled for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on November 18. We'll most likely see much more of Far Cry 4 at E3.

The company revealed a little bit more about the game on the PlayStation Blog today.

"Of course, you can expect the same unique, open-world gameplay that has set Far Cry apart from more traditional shooters. Far Cry 4 will be set in Kyrat, a breathtaking, perilous, and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic, self-appointed king. This is not your standard FPS. You will be equipped with a vast array of weapons, animals, and vehicles, and our highly detailed and interactive open-world will let players write their own story across an exotic and varied landscape."

For now, let's all gaze upon the amazing art for the game.

Going off the appearance of the villain - I'm glad that they're retaining the surreal, sort of self aware vibe of FC3 instead of making a serious "dark and gritty" game. The pink suit and the douchey look made me chuckle when I first saw it.

So does the bad guy have just one stumpy leg?

Seriously - how bad is that art? Looks like they hired a freshman from art-school who hasn't taken any life drawing classes yet.

eh, stopped playing FC3 once I got to the second island and would have stopped sooner if not for the hype and the fact I dropped 30 quid on it. They should make Far Cry 2 again

Quite disappointed that they're reaching back to the 360 and PS3 but still definitely interested.

Making the same villain over and over again, that would be insane.

Let's hope they don't squander the potential of an antagonist like Vaas again. Everything about that character was so rich and distinct, I just hope it gets treated a bit more elegantly this time around, if they have one (which sounds like the new king fellow).

Didn't like Far Cry 3 at all personally and only two years later makes me think it will be very similar, well most people seemed to like that so I can't complain. Not for me probably.

That 'art' doesn't make a great first impression. Unless it's meant to be a Genesis game or something...

I look at that boxart and think back on what Far Cry was like at first 10 years ago and wonder if Far Cry is on the same trajectory as Saints Row.

Being equipped with a large array of animals makes me think of Hearthstone's Hunter. And Hearthstone's Hunter is often super fun to play. If that line means anything resembling Unleash The Hounds I will be very happy.

Far Cry 3 was indeed a good game, but I happened to be playing it around the time the Sandyhook shooting happened and found myself unable to get back into the game after that. Let's hope I can make it all the way through this one!

That said, I'm super excited. I loved Far Cry 3 and the Himalayas seems like a really cool setting. I kinda wish this was current-gen only, though...

Nice, great news. I like seeing a game announced and released in the same year. Also, is this Ubi's first multiplat/cross gen game to not have a Wii U version?
