Far Cry 3 Is Go

According to a comment by Ubisoft's Kevin Shortt, development on the third installment of the Far Cry series is underway, and so far things look "pretty exciting."

Shortt made mention of Far Cry 3 during a recent media junket on the Avatar video game. UK magazine OPM asked the writer whether or not he was working of Far Cry 3, to which he replied:

"No I'm not, but I know the team are and what I've seen looks pretty exciting."

And so we get confirmation of a game we were pretty sure was being made in the first place, which is still pretty nice. We don't have any details regarding the setting, plot, game engine, or platforms, but still, good to know.

They got A LOT to fix if they expect to me buy their crap. I'll rent for sure cause Far Cry 2 had so many right things, but just a few minor mishaps made it suck.

Map editor was frickin cool.

According to an inside source at Ubisoft Montreal working on the title, the next instalment of the game will be set somewhere "outside" of Africa and will take advantage of a new setting.

This news comes after Far Cry 3 was confirmed by Kevin Shortt in an interview with PlayStation Magazine, scriptwriter for Avatar and Far Cry 2.

"We're still in very early development and we have no idea where it's going to be set, but I'm pretty sure that it won't be in Africa," our source told us.

Our source also said that the team were still discussing the game's direction and that nothing had been set in stone.

Although our source said that the game won't be set in Africa, it was iterated that could be subject to change, but it was more than likely going to be set outside of Africa and somewhere completely new.

We reckon it's going to be in space, as discussed on our podcast in Montreal, but which planet or solar system or galaxy is yet to be revealed.
