Far Cry 4 Announced for November 2014 Release

Far Cry 4

"Ubisoft's Far Cry 4 is on its way and will release later this very year!

Its only been two years since the release of Far Cry 3 (Nov 2012) but we anticipate that FC4 will get fans of open world first person shooters clamoring for the next in the Far Cry series. Ubi will likely splash out with lots of juicy details at this years upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), June 10th. But lets take a look at what we have so far on Far Cry 4...

Dan Hay of Ubisoft Montreal says “wanted to take the franchise to the next level and create a game that will surprise and exceed fan expectations.” Dan is the Executive producer at Ubi Montreal and leading the FC4 development team.

Far Cry 4 will take place in a fictional Himalayan province called Kyrat, where a crazed self proclaimed modern day king rules.

Far Cry 4 is expected to be filled with the usual wildlife hunting and is being reported to include elephant riding as one of the activities open to the player. The usual scattering of vehicles, weapons and explosives are going to litter the snow covered craggy lands of the mountainous Himalayas for the player to find and abuse, while pursuing the inevitable opt in story line that accompanies these Ubisoft blockbuster titles.

But it wont all be arctic like backdrops, there will also be sunnier regions available to explore set around the alpine woodlands of the imaginative lands of Kyrat.

It sounds like a number of studios under the control of Ubisoft are coming together to get Far Cry 4 finished this year. These studios include Red Storm, Ubi Kiev, Ubi Toronto and Ubi Shanghai. How much each of these studios is contributing is not known, but it certainly suggests the final push towards the November 2014 release window.

The Far Cry 4 release date is set for November 20th in Europe where as Far Cry 4 will release on 18th November in the North Americas.

Far Cry 4 will be available on the following platforms: PC, Playstation 4, Playstation 3, XBox One and XBox 360

There is already talk of pre-order bonuses, to try and get fans to add Far Cry 4 to their 2014 purchase list today. If you pre-order then you will be getting a bunch of limited edition content that revolves around the character Hurk from Far Cry 3. Hurks Redemption, is a set of 3 single player missions that feature Hurk himself and you gain access to Hurk's trusty harpoon gun, known as The Impaler.

Naturally Far Cry 4 will be aiming at more mature audiences.

As we said though, lots more Far Cry 4 info will pour out of E3 in June which will be the first Far Cry 4 official announcement."
