‘Far Cry Primal’ Announced With An Incredible Trailer
The last 24 hours have been interesting. Ubisoft started a mysterious live stream on their YouTube channel. A static shot of of some cave paintings, rhythmic chanting and the crackle of a fire. Then, the now suspended Twitter account for IGN Turkey let loose with the news that Far Cry Primal was the next in store for the franchise. Still, the live stream ran for almost 24 hours. And then we got ourselves THIS trailer.
The award-winning Far Cry franchise that stormed the tropics and the Himalayas now enters the original fight for humanity’s survival with its innovative open-world sandbox gameplay, bringing together massive beasts, breathtaking environments, and unpredictable savage encounters.
Welcome to the Stone Age, a time of extreme danger and limitless adventure, when giant mammoths and sabretooth tigers ruled the Earth, and humanity is at the bottom of the food chain. As the last survivor of your hunting group, you will learn to craft a deadly arsenal, fend off fierce predators, and outsmart enemy tribes to conquer the land of Oros and become the Apex Predator.
Key Features:
– RISE ABOVE EXTINCTION
You will play as Takkar, a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of your group. You have one goal: survival in a world where you are the prey.
– STONE AGE BY FAR CRY
This isn’t the Stone Age you thought you knew. This is the Stone Age with irreverence and mayhem. This is the Stone Age by Far Cry.
– A WORLD RULED BY GIANT BEASTS
After the last Ice Age, the glaciers retreated to leave behind a land blooming with nature and resources where humans and animals alike can thrive – provided they have what it takes to prove their dominance.
This is an interesting departure from the previous three titles. The player is sent back in time, to ancient time. I definitely got vibes of The Forrest, Ark and other survival games in a similar ilk.
With Far Cry Primal and Horizon Zero Dawn, the hunting pack motif is going to be really strong in the next couple of years.
