Next Far Cry Hinted At in Ubisoft Shanghai CV

Ubisoft Shanghai is apparently contributing to the next Far Cry title, that we're assuming will be called something along the lines of 'Far Cry 4' or some such. The revelation comes from the LinkedIn CV of one of the studio's staff, Design Manager Xavier Plagnal.

The CV in question includes a claim from Plagnal that he's been fulfiling the role of "content director on the next Far Cry" since September 2013, hinting that a Far Cry 4 reveal could be in the offing, possibly at this year's E3.

Ubi Shanghai has also lent its dev talents to Far Cry 3 in conjunction with Division dev Ubisoft Massive, Ubisoft Red Storm and Ubisoft Montreal. The smart money is on Far Cry 3's core developer, Ubi Montreal to be at the helm on Far Cry 4. We'll obviously know more once Ubi announces something official.

  • Far Cry 3 was utterly brilliant and looked fantastic on PC, and was my 2012 Game of the Year. Definitely looking forward to a next-gen Far Cry 4.
  • I loved FC3. I was never a fan of the other games though. I really enjoyed what they did with 3 and even Blood Dragon was totally badass. I am hoping for more FC.
  • Lets hope they make a far cry 3.5 cause 3 kicked some serious ass. It was an amazing game, my favourite fps game on any format, infinitely better than fucking cod or halo.
  • I thought Cliff Martinez confirmed FC4 a while ago when he said that he's working on music for the game? Or is this more official? ^^ If you don't know who Cliff Martinez is, he's been composing soundtracks for a lot of Steven Soderbergh movies (Traffic, Solaris, Contagion) and most recently Drive and Only God Forgives.
  • Awesome news! I know my friend will be happy! :)
  • FC3 was an awesome game. I loved playing ever second of it. I hope they stick to its style with the upcoming far cry 4.
  • Far Cry 3 was awesome, but I like to see them take a different approach like they did with Blood Dragon. I love the whole tropical island idea they do with their games, but Blood Dragon just goes to show they are more capable than they really are. I would love to see another non canon/spinoff game as a big title. Either way if they do it or not I would still play it
  • Love FC3, brilliant game... still have to play FC3:BD... but what I really want to hear is having the bugs and online issues of FC2 sorted... I know it's an old game but a re-release of FC Compilation should warrant some tweaks to sort out server issues right?
  • Far Cry 3 was BEAUTIFUL!
  • My body is ready to learn 'the defination of insanity' all over again
  • I hope not. Part of the reason Far Cry 3 was so great was because it was such a breath of fresh air, I don't want them to turn Far Cry into their next Assassin's Creed.
  • Loved Far Cry 3, game was awesome. Let's hope they don't add stupid fucking multiplayer.
  • Just don't throw any co-op or multiplayer trophies in there and I'll be happy. The co-op in FC3 tainted an otherwise awesome game.
  • I don't think FC4 will be as good as FC3. High hopes though that it will be just as good if not better than the third. I'll be looking forward to the next installment.
  • I remember playing Instincts a long time ago and showing it to my dad, he even liked it and usually only into hunting games. I didn't like 2 so much, but I really enjoyed 3. It can only get better, right?
  • That Cliff Martinez said he was doing the music for this already sold me on it. Can't wait for the official announcement.
  • GODDAMN IT MY DICK JUST MOVED!!!
  • Oh well, we all know it's in the making. Which studio is involved doesn't really matter. A release window would be far more interesting. FC3 was one of the best exploration FPS adventures i have ever played.
  • I'd like to see them do a different setting for a fourth game. As poor as the overall game was, I actually thought the African setting of FC2 was the best the series has ever done. There are plenty of other environments they could set the game in.
