Meet Pagan Min in the Far Cry 4 E3 trailer
At E3 2014, Ubisoft showed off the big villain, Pagan Min, from their upcoming game, Far Cry 4. Min is terrifying, which makes sense, seeing as he’s the dictator of Kyrat. The country is currently in a civil war trying to overthrow him, and you show up at a really bad time.
Far Cry 4 will be out November 18 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
Sony @ E3 14: Far Cry 4 single-copy multiplayer announced
A huge announcement for Far Cry 4! in addition to unveiling an awesome gameplay demo, Sony announced that you will only need one copy of the game in order to play the game’s two-player co-op mode online!
This goes for both the PS3 and PS4 versions of the game, and is Sony-exclusive.
Ubisoft @ E3 14: Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Far Cry 4, The Division, The Crew, more
Ubisoft has announced their E3 2014 plans and it includes a lot of games we already knew about including Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Far Cry 4, Tom Clancy’s The Division, The Crew, and Valiant Hearts: The Great War. The megapublisher plans to announce a few additional titles during E3 Media Briefing, which will be held on Monday, June 9 at 6:00 PM (Eastern Time). Once again, Ubisoft’s presentation will be hosted by actress (and professional awesome person) Aisha Tyler and will be broadcast live on their YouTube Channel.
So what else will Ubisoft be announcing at this year’s E3 Expo? I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Blood Dragon 2 or the oft-rumored Assassin’s Creed: Comet, and you know a Watch Dogs sequel is in development somewhere within Ubisoft’s many development houses, but that probably won’t be an E3 2014 announcement.
You can find more information on Ubisoft’s E3 lineup after the break. (more…)

Ubisoft officially announces Far Cry 4 will be released on November 18
I swear, the Far Cry series gets nuttier with every new release. When I look at the box art for the recently announced Far Cry 4, all I can think of is John “J. Peterman” O’Hurley in his “white poet warlord” phase shouting gibberish at an errand boy. Throw in a dash of Michael York and you’ve got yourself a villain.
He doesn’t have a name yet, but that villain is the “despotic self-appointed king” of Kryat, a mysterious (and fictional) region in the Himalayas. According to Ubisoft, players will have access to “a vast array of weapons, vehicles, and animals” as they venture across Far Cry 4’s open-world landscape.
Ubisoft Montreal is the primary developer on Far Cry 4, but the Watch Dogs studio will receive assistance from Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Kiev. Once they’re finished, this development studio Voltron will release Far Cry 4 on the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on November 18.
“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.”
Players who are eager to pre-order Far Cry 4 will be upgraded to the Limited Edition, which includes the Hurk’s Redemption DLC pack and access to a harpoon gun known as “The Impaler.” Hurk’s Redemption will include three single-player missions starring Hurk, a character originally found in Far Cry 3‘s Monkey Business DLC.
Ubisoft plans to give us our first look at Far Cry 4 during their E3 2014 Media Briefing, which will be held on Monday, June 9 at 6:00 PM (Eastern Time).
Rumor: Far Cry 4 to be set in the Himalayas and release in 2015
Development of the Far Cry franchise shifted to Ubisoft Montreal (the team behind the original Assassin’s Creed) after the first installment, and if there’s one thing we know about Ubisoft, it’s that they know how to keep a franchise going. Names like Assassin’s Creed and Tom Clancy have become as recognizable in the gaming world as Call of Duty, and each sequel just seems to make each franchise better. So it should come as no surprise that, after the success of Far Cry 3, another installment in the series is well underway. This time, however, the tropical setting will be notably absent.
Eurogamer is reporting that Far Cry 4 will take place among the snowy mountains of the Himalayas. Players will be able to interact with the region in a number of ways, perhaps the most notable of which is the ability to ride an elephant.
Far Cry 4 is expected to be in development for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One, though its possible a version for current-gen consoles is also in the works. According to Eurogamer’s source, Far Cry 4 will make its official debut at the upcoming E3 Expo in June with Ubisoft planning to release the game in early 2015.
Composer Cliff Martinez claims he’s working on Far Cry 4
Ubisoft hasn’t been shy about telling the world that some form of pre-production work has begun on Far Cry 4. But a recent interview has given a good idea what the game will sound like.
Speaking to Lost in the Multiplex (via Joystiq), composer Cliff Martinez (the music man behind the Drive soundtrack) said he is “working on a video game called Far Cry 4.” Obviously, this news doesn’t give us any idea what the game will be like, but we do know it’ll have funky background music that’ll set the perfect mood for a little ultra-violence.
Far Cry 4 announcement coming “soon”
Far Cry 3 and its standalone expansion, Blood Dragon, have been huge hits for Ubisoft this year. So I don’t anyone’s monocle is going to pop off at the news that the publisher is getting ready to announce Far Cry 4.
Speaking to GameSpot, Ubisoft’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales, Tony Key, had this to say: “We’re totally psyched from [Far Cry 3]. It’s a great brand, and now it’s got the recognition it deserves, so we’re clearly going to make another one: more on that soon.”
Hmm, Gamescom 2013 opens on August 21. That’s “soon,” right?
