When it was first released four years ago, it was known that Far Cry would spawn many sequels. Far Cry 2 is already on its away as the game is expected to be out later this year. Though the first game was set in the South Pacific, the sequel to the shooter game is set in the continent of Africa.
Now Patrick Redding Ubisoft pointed out to gaming blog VG247 that Far Cry 3 too could be set in Africa. At the Leipzig Games Convention, Redding explained, “For us Africa still has a huge amount of promise. There are still things we want to do with the African setting, and I think it’s safe to say we’ll continue to explore it.”
Patrick Redding mentioned that Ubisoft decided to zero on the African setting as they believe it would help them retain the Far Cry brand value, which is something that is exotic and dangerous environment. He then stated that jungle islands are most likely less stimulating as they were some years ago.
