Far Cry Primal: A New Chapter Set in the Stone Ages

Ubisoft announced development for Far Cry Primal, the next game in the franchise that is set in the stone ages. It will be released worldwide February 23, 2016 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and Windows PC on March 2016.

Far Cry Primal is being developed by Ubisoft Montréal which is collaborating with Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai Studio, and Ubisoft Kiev Studio.

The year is 10,000 BC and you’ll be playing as Takkar, a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of his hunting group. Because this is the Stone Ages, you’re set at the very bottom of the food chain where anything can kill you and everything is out to get you, from sabretooth tigers to savage humans.

It’s up to you to go from prey to predator, doing whatever it takes to survive. You can grow your tribe and become stronger to be a good leader, ally with a cast of memorable characters who will assist you in fighting against danger, and battle enemy tribes that are out to kill both you and your allies. It’s only when you defeat those that oppose you, that you will rise to become the apex predator in the land of Oros.

In typical Far Cry fashion, you’ll be able to obtain all kinds of deadly weapons to stop any threat against you, and these can be crafted from the bones of beasts you’ve killed. Use fire for setting your weapon on fire for extra damage or to scare away predators at night.

“The Stone Age is the perfect setting for a Far Cry game. Far Cry usually puts you at the edge of the known world, in a beautiful, lawless and savage frontier. The Stone Age is, in a way, the very first frontier for humankind; it’s 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.”
