Ubisoft have confirmed Far Cry Primal following a leak from IGN Turkey yesterday. The game will launch on PS4 and Xbox One February 23, 2016 with the PC release to follow in March. Hit the jump to see the first trailer!
Far Cry Primal will see players become Takkar, who is “the sole survivor of an ambush on his hunting group,” according to the press release.
“Like any good hunter, Takkar carries an extensive set of survival skills, including the ability to craft tools and weapons from the bones of the beasts he slays and the resources he gathers in the wild. These are not only crucial for his own safety against predators (both human and animal), they’re also essential in maintaining the safety of his tribe. Takkar will need to guard his fledgling group carefully to ensure its survival and growth.”
The official trailer’s blurb expounds further.
“The award-winning Far Cry franchise that stormed the tropics and the Himalayas now enters the original fight for humanity’s survival with its innovative open-world sandbox gameplay, bringing together massive beasts, breathtaking environments, and unpredictable savage encounters,” reads the trailer description.
“Welcome to the Stone Age, a time of extreme danger and limitless adventure, when giant mammoths and sabretooth tigers ruled the Earth, and humanity is at the bottom of the food chain. As the last survivor of your hunting group, you will learn to craft a deadly arsenal, fend off fierce predators, and outsmart enemy tribes to conquer the land of Oros and become the Apex Predator.”
