Far Cry 5 release date confirmed as new trailer releases

-

Just a couple of weeks ago we knew nothing about Far Cry 5. But in the lead up to E3, Ubisoft are on a mission to make sure every single gamer will be hyped for it. Today, well, we’ve got a release date and a brand new trailer…and that to us is a decent way to end the week!

So, first up, Far Cry 5 will be heading to America’s heartland come February 27th 2018. It promises chaos, unpredictability and ferociousness as it releases on the ‘Xbox One family of devices, including Project Scorpio’, PS4, PS4 Pro and PC.

As previously hinted at, Far Cry 5 will be set in America for the first time – in Montana no less. Players will have total freedom to navigate this serene-looking yet deeply twisted world either as a lone solo player or entirely across the two-player co-op option included. Whatever you decide, you’ll need to fight for survival and freedom.

Game Description:

As the new junior deputy of fictional Hope County, Montana, players will find that their arrival accelerates a years-long silent coup by a fanatical doomsday cult, the Project at Eden’s Gate, igniting a violent takeover of the county. Caught off guard and drawn into a power struggle, players must disrupt the carefully laid plans of the Project at Eden’s Gate, and fan the fires of resistance to help liberate the Hope County community and themselves.

Under siege and cut off from the rest of the world, players will join forces with residents of Hope County and form the Resistance. The fight against the cult will take players to unique locations throughout Hope County that provide different gameplay experiences. During their journey, players can fly planes to engage cult forces in aerial dogfights across Big Sky Country. While tracking down cult members and gathering resources for survival across farmland, forests, mountains and rivers, players can get behind the wheel of iconic American muscle cars, big rigs, ATVs and boats. Vehicles also provide refuge when under attack by animals or as a way to quickly escape when things don’t go as planned.

To take down the cult, players will need to utilise any and all weapons at their disposal, including ranged weapons such as guns and grenades and melee weapons like a sledgehammer or baseball bat. Additionally, players can recruit Guns for Hire from a large cast of characters, or even Fangs for Hire, specialised animals like bears and cougars to complement players’ playstyles whether they’re going in stealthily or forcefully. How players approach each situation and the chaos they create in Far Cry 5 is up to them. Far Cry 5 will also see the return of the map editor, giving players the opportunity to create and play an infinite amount of new playgrounds. The map editor will include new features that add a new dimension to the content created by fans, with more details coming soon.

If that all sounds good to you, then you may also be interested to hear that a free Far Cry 5 skin pack will be available. PS4 owners will get it at release, whilst those of us on Xbox and PC systems will be able to grab the same content through the Ubisoft Club.

Just check out the trailers below…ignoring the PS branding if you so wish 😉

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
