As you know, a lot of rumours had been swirling around for Far Cry 4, and why not? Far Cry 3 is held in high regard and considered to be one of the best FPS titles in recent times, one that has certainly set the bar for the Far Cry franchise. So you can only guess that the expectations are pretty high for the next instalment, even Cliff Martinez is composing it!

Today through a board meeting, Ubisoft has finally unveiled Far Cry 4 and informed us that it will take place on the tricky slopes of the Himalayas. According to the official blog:

Taking a sharp turn away from the lush island jungles of the top-rated Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4 is set in Kyrat, an untamed region currently ruled by a despotic self-appointed king. But don’t be lulled into a false sense of security by the achingly beautiful views; Kyrat is a wild land full of perils. Once again, players will be able to craft their own stories as they travel through this exotic open world teeming with wildlife – using their wits along with an assortment of powerful weapons and diverse vehicles.

“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.”

Development on Far Cry 4 is being led by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai and Ubisoft Kiev.

To show that Ubisoft is pretty serious about their latest project, even the pre-order bonus DLC has already been revealed. If you pre-order the game on the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 or Xbox One, you’ll get a free upgrade to the limited edition, which brings back the monkey killing maniac Hurk, back into the limelight. The bonuses you receive include three singleplayer missions and a harpoon gun. Far Cry 4 is set for release November this year.
