Far Cry Primal announced

A still from Far Cry Primal

After the critical as well as the commercial success of “Far Cry 4”, Ubisoft is back again with another installment in the franchise.

Set in 10000 B.C, Far Cry Primal follows the story of Takkar who is a seasoned hunter and also one of the last survivors of his dying group. Players need to survive and adapt in the land of Oros by crafting weapons and tools from the bones of beasts and wild animals. Players would also need to hunt for food, fight off other survivors, defend themselves against predators in order to conquer Oros.

After the initial leak, Ubisoft later officially released the debut trailer for their game which shows a small group of four hunting, fighting a wild mammoth before they are attacked by a sabertooth tiger.

Returning features such as outposts, character upgrades combined with new features such as dead pillage attracting new prey with its scent combine to deliver stone age era free roaming survival game. The concept art of the game also points to the sabertooth tiger to be a companion of Takkar.

The creative director behind this game said the game focuses on “the time when humans put a stick in the ground and claimed land for their own, the time when we started climbing the food chain. That came with conflict, against other humans, of course, but also against nature itself.”

Ubisoft Toronto and Shanghai are assisting in the development of this project.

The last Far Cry game was released in October 2015 and was a huge success despite it being too similar to its predecessor. With Far Cry Primal, the franchise is all set to take a whole new turn in order to provide some much-needed variety.

The latest installment from Ubisoft Montreal is a stone age era free roaming game which focuses on survival and domination called “Far Cry Primal” is all set to release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Feb 23, 2016, with PC release following soon after in March 2016.
