The third installment in the Far Cry videogame series looks set to immerse you into an insane environment like never before.

On a mysterious island located somewhere between the Indian and Pacific oceans, Jason Brody intends to party with his friends. When they’re kidnapped by a local warlord, ordinary bloke Jason uses every weapon and survival skill at his disposal to stay alive long enough to save his friends.

He’s not your typical action hero though, and as his time on the island progresses, he is forced to face what he is truly capable of as the island’s insanity takes its toll...

Warlord Vaas rules over the triptych of islands, keeping its inhabitants in the grip of chaos. As Jason interacts with characters who’ve been unable to escape, he slowly realises that being on the island for too long has some serious side effects.

You’ll have to keep your wits about you as you guide him through the three islands - in addition to the lawless gangs running riot, there are more than 20 species of wild animals looking to pose a considerable threat.

With fully customisable weapons and the ability to travel via jeep, boat, jetski, glider, zipline and more, you can influence the outcome through your own style of gameplay, depending on whether you opt to proceed slowly, carefully, cunningly or launch an all-out assault against your aggressors.
