FarCry2 now officialy announced
July 20th, 2007 by wohoo
The sequel to FarCry, one of the best single-player experiences ever made, has been officially announced by Ubisoft today. This wasn’t any big big surprise since some artwork marked FarCry2 were leaked some time ago but it sure is nice to have official confirmation.
What has me a bit concerned though is the fact that while the original FarCry was developed by the guys at CryTek (the company currently working on Crysis), FarCry2 is being made at Ubisoft’s Montreal studio. Hopefully they’ll keep FC2 true to the original.
John Parkes from Ubisoft: “Far Cry marked the beginning of a new era for shooters. An era of gorgeous graphics and of advanced artificial intelligence. We are confident that Far Cry 2 will have the same impact again on the FPS genre landscape.”
FarCry2 is currently scheduled for a Spring 2008 release for PC. No news on console versions.
