Far Cry 3 Listed At Swedish Retailers

Ubisoft has been quiet about Far Cry 3, though we've heard the game has been in the works ever since Far Cry 2 shipped back in 2008. Now, it looks like some Swedish retailers have broken the silence, listing Far Cry 3 online complete with box art, a 16+ rating, and multiple versions.

Listings at the sites Webhallen and Game Sweden point to a regular and collector's edition of the game. I don't have trouble believing that part, but the sites also have the release dated pegged for 2010. That would mean that the game, which no one has seen, is coming out in the next four months during the most crowded time of year for new game releases.

The probability of this being legit is pretty slim. I don't doubt that development on Far Cry 3 is in full swing, but if it were coming out this year, Ubisoft would have certainly said something about it by now.

If nothing else, at least we get to see what a logo for the game might look like. That's quite a 3, isn't it?

Yeah, I really doubt it's real. Or at least the release date is wrong.

And yes, the 3 is masterfully drawn.
by Farrell Maniac Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 10:39 AM

That's fake. If you buy it you would probably just get a brick in a box.

haha, the index that farcry 3 is under, is called "Alla" terrorist gods, oh no!

in the corner it says overblick maybe that's swedish for overpriced.
by Aiden118 Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 11:14 AM

Pretty funny. I wonder how the real farcry 3 is coming?

"That's quite a 3, isn't it?" Yes it is Joe.

There is no way in hell that FC3 is coming out this year. Next year maybe, 2012 definitely, but not this year.

I really want to play FARCRY 2 but my Gamefly is taking forever.
by Mr. Krowley Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 01:38 PM

I really enjoyed Farcry 2, but even I will admit that if it came out in the next four months, it would be crushed by the 40 gazillion pound elephants that are CoD: Black Ops and Halo: Reach. Still, I'd like for it to come out next year. I'd pick it up, for sure.
by Colton Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 02:16 PM

If it is coming out in the next 4 months I'd buy it just because they kept the secret so well.
by Kyle Myers Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 04:03 PM

I hope it's not like the garbage second one, I want more predators!
by Chance Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 04:20 PM

I hope it's way better than the second one. Don't get me wrong, farcry 2 had a lot of cool things about it. But I just couldn't get into it. The missions weren't fun enough, I hated using the map navigating through a huge jungle as opposed to an actual radar, and I feel like I'd have to put in a lot of time and effort just to have fun in it.

Improve it, make it easier to play and I'm interested!
by james Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 04:37 PM

Hope they fix all the problems that plagued the second.
by Timothy Repasky Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 05:36 PM

i can't wait for this game.
by Ed Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 06:20 PM

I really loved Far Cry. And while playing Far Cry 2 I thought I loved it as well. The odd thing is that Far Cry 2 is one of those games that you enjoy while playing it, but when you look back on it you have no love for it. Like GTA4. I don't know why that is, but I never want to see Far Cry 2 again. I hope they can do some things to make the third one more like the first.
by Sabtos Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 06:39 PM

Why do retailers so often beat the actual publishers/developers to revealing unannounced games?
by Gobzer Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 10:12 PM

Ironic, as I am playing through the second one now AND I just beat Far Cry Instincts Predator. I'm probbaly gonna be on FC2 a while, I'm almost 10hrs in and I'm 4% complete. I have a LOT of diamonds though....
by Zombieathon Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 11:46 PM

HMMM stange the second game was decent,
by The One Who Knocks Monday, August 30, 2010 at 03:17 AM

I still have no played through the second.
by awesomninja133 Monday, August 30, 2010 at 06:31 AM

the colectors edition is $135.309 US

bit of an odd number right? (forget the math pun)
