Ubisoft officially revealed Far Cry 5, an open-world shooter that’s set in modern-day Montana, back in May 2017. You’ll be able to get your hands on it when it launches on February 27, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
The first game in the series since 2016's Primal, the story of Far Cry 5 kicks off when a cult leader named Joseph starts taking over territory in a fictional region called Hope County, Montana. You play as a sheriff’s deputy who plays a leading role in the resistance. Read on for all the Far Cry 5 gameplay, news, trailers, and previews that have come out since it was announced.
Far Cry 5 got lots of stage time during Ubisoft's E3 2017 press conference, starting with this Amazing Grace trailer:
The presentation continued with a gameplay walkthrough that shows some of the new things you'll be able to do this time around:
Ubisoft also unveiled the Hope County, MT Collector's Edition of the game, which comes with a deer skull trophy and costs $180. You can buy it at the Ubisoft Store.
We even got to go hands-on with Far Cry 5, so be sure to read that for our impressions.
That's it for the E3 news so far, but you'll find a whole lot more about the game below, starting from the beginning.
The first time we heard about Far Cry 5 wasn’t in the game’s official announcement or even a leak. It was during Ubisoft’s 2017 fiscal year earnings report in May. Ubisoft said Far Cry 5 was coming sometime before March 31, 2018. With the news that the sequel was in the works but little else to go on, the Game Scoop crew chatted about what they’d like to see in Far Cry 5.
In May 2017, Ubisoft started the hype train rolling with four teaser trailers that confirmed the Montana setting and set a somewhat unnerving tone.
Over the course of the next few days in May, Ubisoft released a whole heap of Far Cry 5 information, including the release date and key art for the game.
Next came a series of trailers that showed off the setting and introduced some of the side characters you’ll fight alongside.
We even did a deep dive into the announce trailer to point out secrets and hidden details you might have missed.
And if you want to know what the IGN editors think of how the game is shaping up, check out these episodes of Podcast Beyond and Unlocked.
Watching trailers and looking at key art is great and all, but if you want to read one article that ties all of the Far Cry 5 information together, this is the one for you. In our Far Cry 5 first look, we explore the game’s setting and characters, and talk with the people making the game about what to expect when we finally get our hands on it.
