Far Cry 4 launch date, details revealed

Far Cry 4 will be released for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC on 20 November 2014. Ubisoft made the announcement as part of their 2014 financial results presentation.

“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,” said Ubisoft on their blog.

Ubisoft hope Far Cry 4 will “follow the success” of Far Cry 3, and become one of the top 10 selling games over the next financial year.

Hurk, the Far Cry 3 nut job, will return in the Limited Edition of Far Cry 4 – which gamers will be upgraded to if they pre-order the game – in a series of three single-player missions.

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

More details will be revealed at E3, so stay tuned.
