The Guardian said:
Abandoning the sun-scorched locations of its predecessors, Far Cry 4 is coming this autumn and it will be climbing to the treacherous peaks of the Himalayas. Ubisoft has announced that the latest title in its open-world shooter series will release on 21 November, all set in a perilous region named Kyrat.

Not much else is known about the game just yet. Ubisoft has of course confirmed that there will be the usual array of vehicles, weapons and wild animals, the latter including elephants, which, according to Eurogamer, the lead character can ride. Intriguingly, the announcement claims that players will be able to, "write their own story across an exotic open-world landscape" suggesting a slightly more emergent narrative. Apparently, the area is being ruled over by a "despotic self-appointed king", which sounds a little like insane pirate Vaas from Far Cry 3.

“We wanted to take the franchise to the next level and create a game that will surprise players,” said executive producer, Dan Hay. “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.”

Demos of the title will doubtless be shown at E3, though it's surprising that Ubisoft has left it so late to announce such a major project. It will join stablemates Assassin's Creed Unity, Tom Clancy's The Division and open-world racer, The Crew, in a bust event for the French publishing giant, which like Rockstar is now pulling several studios into each of its key projects. Far Cry 4 has been developed at the company's premier Montreal studio in collaboration with Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Kiev.

Released in 2012, the last Far Cry title attracted critical acclaim for its vast explorable location, a tropical island teeming with wildlife. The new title will release on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
I'm looking forward to this, Far Cry 3 was superb.

Hmmm more open world like Fallout and Skyrim? That's going to be rather good.

Far Cry 3 was a brilliant game, GTA 5 only just beat it.

Farcry 3 was epic....but the thing that let it down was no additional addons/DLC. Once you completed it then that was it!

I quite like getting the whole game on one disk, to be honest. fk paying extra for the rest of it.

Yes but I felt once it was done, that was it. It would of been nice to have the option of expansion. Felt like there could of been far more to do in the world.

A 2nd playthrough with the Swartz Mod Compilation is worth doing, if you haven't already.

Also, Blood Dragon was very amusing.

Do you mind if I ask when you were born? I do not mean it in a condescending way or in any other way that may cause offence, I am just wondering if your thoughts on the matter might be influenced by being part of a different generation of gamer smile

Apart from Day one DLC most DLC is made afterwards?
In theory. But in practise a lot of modern DLC is designed to make you pay in instalments for what you once got all at once.
