Far Cry 4
You're certainly encouraged to tackle situations your own way in the Far Cry games, but let's face it: Your options are going to be limited if you've got an empty toolbox. Fortunately, there's someone in Kyrat who's here to help. A new Far Cry 4 trailer provides a guided tour of the game's one-man gun show, a warlord-turned-religious seeker named Longinus.
You'll see a variety of weapons in action, as they tear into trucks, choppers, and meatier targets. Longinus also shows off how you can lure animals like tigers to fight for you by strategically tossing bait around.
Here's what Ubisoft has to say about the character:
Who will be supplying this impressive arsenal of weapons? Longinus – a former warlord who found God when he nearly died during a civil war in his country, where a priest named Maliya hid him in a church in Pala and nursed him back to health and eventually baptized Longinus in the waters of Goka Falls. Unfortunately, the people of his country saw him as a warlord, and nobody believed his so-called claims of being born again, so he left his country.
Longinus traveled with various religious expeditions searching for the blood diamonds he helped export during his time as a warlord. He followed a trail to the Himalayas and found himself in Kyrat, caught up in an all-too-familiar civil war. Longinus may have been reborn, but this doesn’t mean that the lion became the lamb. His willingness to sell guns and supplies to the sheep, while advocating that they fight for freedom, came from his experience that warlords don’t simply go away.
Far Cry 4 is set for a November 18 release date on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. For more info on the game, including exclusive video interviews with the developers and more, visit our hub below.
