Rumor: Far Cry 4 to stalk the Himalayas in 2015

[Dohc-WP]

The next entry in Ubisoft's expansive, open-world Far Cry franchise will arrive in the first half of next year, according to a Eurogamer report.

Citing unnamed "people familiar with the project," Eurogamer claims that the game will forgo another romp through the jungles in favor of a visit to the Himalaya mountain range. Gameplay details are scant, but Eurogamer believes that the new setting will offer players wholly novel activities such as riding on elephants, while the fan-favorite hunting sections will make a return with local fauna as prey. Far Cry 4 is reportedly heading to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC and we can expect to hear more details on the game at E3 2014 in June.

When reached for comment, Ubisoft was unwilling to discuss Far Cry 4, though representatives say they'll have more information for us if and when such a title enters development.

Kind of keen to play another Far Cry game. I was surprised to find I really enjoyed Far Cry 3.

As long as we don't get another Far Cry 2. They should stick with what they did right in 3.

Totally agreed.

I tried Far Cry 2 and I just couldn't get into it. Whereas I bought Far Cry 3 on special and couldn't put it down. Here's holding thumbs.

FarCry3 is still one of my favorite games of all time... loved it!

[Pooky]

Did they call the series Far Cry because it's a far cry from reality?

Nothing wrong with FC2. Have played it through at least 4 or 5 times.

It was perhaps one of the most atrociously boring FPS games I've ever had the displeasure of playing. Boring missions, a boring story, a map filled with enemies shooting you every 5 feet and respawning the moment you look away.

No thanks. Far Cry 3 took what FC2 did and did it right.
