Ubisoft Breaks Down Details For Far Cry 5's Map Editor
Far Cry 5, by all accounts, looks to be a dark, despairing game that makes the current political ills for America its destructive playground. Luckily, the DLC for the game seem to be a bit more wacky, including zombies and Martians. Today the publisher revealed another wrinkle in the fold: a map editor.
The map editor is due out in April for free and lets players important content from other Ubisoft series (text from Ubisoft):
All Far Cry 5 players will also have access to Far Cry Arcade, the evolution of the map editor that will deliver an endless amount of free gameplay and map creation opportunities for players.
Far Cry Arcade will include assets from previous Far Cry games as well as other Ubisoft titles, including content from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin’s Creed Unity, and Watch Dogs, that can be used to make solo, co-op, and PvP multiplayer experiences.
You can check out a screen of Far Cry Arcade below for yourself to see the series crossover zaniness in action.
