Ubisoft has announced the launch of Far Cry 5 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
Most of the Far Cry games have proven to be a success for Ubisoft, and there's no reason to think that will be any different with the fifty-first installment in the series. It's also the boldest choice from the developers, who have chosen to use a real country and location this time, Montana, United States.
Until now, all Far Cry games have taken place in remote and fictional locations, but Ubisoft decided it was time to bring the action a little closer. Not to mention the fact that the main theme for Far Cry 5, which is the rule of a mad preacher and his family over an entire county, is not that exaggerated.
The real world is full of abstract events that make it more vivid and difficult for players to adapt to any particular situation. To overcome this, the game can be played in end-to-end co-op mode, which is a first in the franchise.
Another aspect of the game is the integration of Far Cry Arcade, a powerful map editor that can use assets from other games and franchises such as Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, Assassin's Creed Unity or Watch Dogs, co-op or competitive experiences.
Additionally, console players who purchase the Gold Edition of Far Cry 5 (base game, season pass, and various bonus content) will also receive the Far Cry 3 Classic Edition on May 29. On the other hand, PC users will receive the full version of Far Cry 3 on June 26.
As usual, Far Cry 5 is available on almost all available platforms, including the PlayStation Store, Xbox Games Store, Steam, and Uplay.
