A new Far Cry<\/em> was revealed yesterday, and we’re pretty excited about it.<\/p>\n

A livestream showing a cave-painting hinted at some kind of Palaeolithic (or prehistoric in\u00a0layman’s terms) setting, illustrating a hunter-warrior type in the centre of scenes involving savage combat between man and ancient beast.<\/p>\n

Also depicted is a myriad of strange rituals and sacrifices typical of the often esoteric series.<\/p>\n

IGN Turkey\u2019s Twitter account prematurely spilled the beans on just what exactly we\u2019re looking at here: It’s called Far Cry Primal<\/em> and much like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon<\/em>, it’s a wilder Far Cry<\/em>. And this time, it’s set in the ice age.<\/p>\n

\"IGN<\/a>

Before their account was suspended, this is what the leak looked like.<\/p><\/div>\n

I have always hoped that Far Cry<\/em> would release a title set in a time before guns or technology. These games have shown a great affinity for savagery and tribalism, and always seemed to wish for a completely primal setting.<\/p>\n

Primal <\/em>will have you pitted against sabre-toothed tigers, ancient rhinoceroses and mammoths. It seems as if it will use Far Cry 4 <\/em>as its platform in the same way Blood Dragon <\/em>used Far Cry<\/em> 3. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Clubbing used to have a completely different definition.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

If you think about it, Far Cry 4 <\/em>could have been called Humans vs. Animals<\/em>, which is why it’s the perfect base for a game like this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never encountered more vicious fauna in a game, and every NPC seemed to be constantly being murdered by badgers and eagles.<\/p>\n

Take this ferociousness and apply it to their more powerful prehistoric counterparts and we\u2019ve got the next freaking level<\/strong> of inter-species warfare, especially if you’ve traded in your flamethrowers and grenade launchers for spears and clubs.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Sharpen your spears and get your torches ready!<\/p><\/div>\n

It will be awesome to play a Far Cry<\/em> based around bludgeoning and rock-hurling, ramming spears into the stomachs of enemies and being gored by mammoths. It\u2019s definitely going to be the most violent and trippy title in the series.<\/p>\n

What do you think about this new direction?<\/p>\n
