Far Cry 3 earned much acclaim at the end of last year, making many pine for more. When lead writer Jeffrey Yohalem sat down with Joystiq recently, he dropped some hints that something new for Far Cry is in the works.

Joystiq asked Yohalem if he had something more in mind for Far Cry 3. His response? “Yes. I'm working on something now that will be surprising, I think, when it's announced. But it definitely is a 'strike while the iron's hot' thing, and we'll see."

Right now that's pretty vague, but it at least lets us know an announcement is on the horizon.
