Ubisoft's blown Far Cry 5 wide open with a load of fresh information. First off, we've got the game's full reveal trailer, which you can watch above. As expected, we're looking at a religious cult that's up to no good in the North American wilderness. It's got guns, airplanes, explosions, a load of creepy characters, and what looks like a nicely crafted open world.
Next up, a confirmed PlayStation 4 release date: the 27th February 2018. This obviously gives the publisher a long time to drum up a lot of hype, although we're sure it'll put in an appearance during Ubisoft's E3 press conference next month all the same. On Sony's console, you'll get some free content due to an exclusive marketing deal.
As for gameplay details, you'll be playing as a deputy sheriff who's sent to arrest the leader of the aforementioned cult. Naturally, things go horribly wrong. The whole campaign supports co-op play, too, so you can take a friend along for the ride. And last but not least, the multiplayer component of the release will have a map editor.
Sounds like a solid package so far doesn't it? Don't stray too far in the comments section below.

Looked visually OK but still not entirely convinced its a game I would buy at launch though...
Looking really good. Hopefully we'll get some gameplay footage at E3.
@roe An explosive gameplay demo is inevitable I'd say.
Awww. I was wrong about the kids beibg kidnapped. Oh well. The rest is the same
Looks pretty good, hopefully there has been some evolution in the gameplay somehow between this and 4.
It looks like a beautiful place to have your fun. Now if only it wasn't first person.
No confirmation that as we level up our arms will slowly get covered up with tattoos of glorious eagles and the stars and stripes then?
Know what would be cool? Reworking that game so the resistance is the Sons of Anarchy and you get to play as Jax Teller. That's all I kept thinking the whole time I was watching that video.
So, lets say RDR2, GoW and FC5 all release w/in weeks of each other, how does the dust settle on that?
I'll probably buy it. I like the Far Cry games.
Far cry 5 is looking like a decent game the fact it is in America makes it more appealing. Anyone know if its got a map making edit . Haha silly me it does.
@ApostateMage yeah, I keep hoping they're gonna make one of these games at least with a 3rd person option someday.
@Eternallover21 also thought it looked very GTA V-esque. Not necessarily a bad thing at all
Havent bought a far cry since 3..
How many beaver skins will i need to craft a larger medicine pouch?
I like first person in FC games except for the driving which i wish would be 3rd person or have the option to chose.
The location will not offer the amount of escape that previous FC games provide me with in jungles, islands, ect. However rural Montana is very different to the large city i live in east of the Mississippi.
Oooh just saw that you're able to "completely" customise your character in the game as well, which could an interesting touch.
I would need more or a game play change to leap on board at launch. I like the games, they aren't bad but defo diminishing returns.
Really hope we see some gameplay at E3, but I'm definitely interested in this. Fingers crossed they've changed things up a bit (the setting/scenario is an encouraging start).
Probably not launch, but I'm definitely picking this one up at some point.
Have played every FC so I'll probably pick this up at some point but I'm not as excited about this as I have been for recent releases...
Doesn't exactly sound all that exciting or original. Not really filling me with hope about the 'reinvigorating' of Assassin's Creed. Why can't Ubi try more projects like Child of Light instead.
Oh LORD looks like I will be lost in this World for weeks next year Like every past FC game I get lost in their brilliant settings
Looking good, but it will have to be way better than FC4. That game was a monotonous slog, full of cut and paste locations and po faced antagonists... awful stuff. If they can have a world which is interesting and has more to do than climb towers and snipe guards, then I'm game....but it's Ubisoft so who knows...
Far Cry 5: Murica.
Pretty hyped
Sold.
Shut up & take my money
@roe @ApostateMage
I thought that Ghost Recon :Wildlands was like a 3rd person Farcry (although a large part of that would have to be the homogeneous nature of ubisoft games in general, and I have to admit I really found it boring). Have either of you tried it?
It looks great. Not counting far cry primal, this is the first numbered far cry game that fully build for the new gen console. Wish ubisoft will revamp & add new mechanic to the gameplay other than go for full visual glory with the same old ubisoft open world formula. Although story wise, will be expected to be the similar as previous far cry title. Still, hope ubisoft can pull out some surprises.
@CountFunkula78 I tried the beta and I thought it was okay but I felt that the usual tedium would creep in like most Ubisoft open world games.
I was only joking about Far Cry not being in first person. FPS games aren't really my thing but I did enjoy playing Far Cry 2 & 3. I'm actually quite looking forward to this one.
I need to see more. I love Far Cry games but the formula has become a little bit stale lately. If it's the same gameplay with a different setting without anything new - I'll wait for a sale.
Just looks like more Far Cry so far. It wasn't a great trailer at all.
any chance this will have 3rd person?
