Far Cry Classic Confirmed For North American Release On February 11
While Far Cry Classic was already a lock for other parts of the world, Ubisoft demurred on a North American release. Today we not only have confirmation of its arrival on our shores, but a release date that’s right around the corner.
Far Cry Classic, which is an update to the original title in the series, will be out for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on February 11. The title comes with updated visuals, new cutscenes, and an improved user interface.
The title will be available for $9.99. If you’re interested in rounding out your Far Cry collection, a bundle of the remaining titles (Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3, and Blood Dragon) will also be released on February 11 for $39.99.
Our Take
As someone who enjoyed Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon but never played the previous titles, I’m interested to see where the series began. $9.99 seems a fair price for a 2004 title that has been given a fresh coat of polish.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
