After all the craziness that happened during previous Far Cry games I guess there was only one way to go and that way back. In Far Cry Primal Ubisoft is taking us all the way back to the days when survival was everything and giant beasts like the Woolly Mammoth and Sabertooth Tiger roamed the earth. No guns, no jeeps, they could still have hallucinogenic drugs but a whole lot of mud, stone and fire. Also just when you think the animals are the worst of it humanity rears its ugly head and another tribe is out trying to crack your skull in, somethings never change. Also the game is all single player so I expect great things Ubisoft, great things! Far Cry Primal is coming on to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and will be out Feb 23rd 2016 in North America and then on Feb 26th 2015 in Europe. Yes even back in the stone age we had territory specific release dates.

THE CREATIVE VISION BEHIND THE GAME VIDEO: YOUTUBE
London, UK — October 6, 2015 — Today, Ubisoft® announced the development of Far Cry® Primal, the next exciting chapter in the critically acclaimed Far Cry franchise, set during the savage Stone Age. Far Cry Primal hits shelves worldwide on February 23, 2016 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One. The game will also ship on Windows PC in March 2016.
Developed by Ubisoft Montréal, in collaboration with Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai Studio, and Ubisoft Kiev Studio, Far Cry Primal is a full-fledged single player experience that will take gamers to 10,000 BC in history, to a time when massive beasts like the woolly mammoth and sabretooth tiger ruled the Earth.
The award-winning franchise that stormed the tropics and climbed the Himalayas now brings its innovative open world sandbox gameplay to a time when humans were not at the top of the food chain, but were fighting to climb it, bringing together massive beasts, breathtaking environments, and unpredictable savage encounters.
Gamers play as TAKKAR, a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of his hunting group. Arriving in the majestic and savage land of Oros, players will pursue one single goal; survive in a world where humans are the prey. They will meet a cast of memorable characters who will help them push back and tame the dangers of the wild. Players will journey as the first human to tame the wilderness and rise above extinction. Along the way, they will have to hunt for food, master fire, fend off fierce predators, craft weapons and tools partly from the bones of slain beasts, and face off against other tribes to conquer Oros.
“The interesting thing about Far Cry is that it’s flexible, so when a team proposed to explore the idea of a Far Cry taking place during the Stone Age, we just said ‘let’s hear it!’ And the more we heard about it, the more we realised how much of a damn good idea it actually was,” said Dan Hay, Executive Producer, Ubisoft.
“The Stone Age is the perfect setting for a Far Cry game,” said Jean-Christophe Guyot, Creative Director, Ubisoft. “Far Cry usually puts you at the edge of the known world, in a beautiful, lawless and savage frontier. The Stone Age is, in a way, the very first frontier for humankind; it’s the time when humans put a stick in the ground and claimed land for their own, the time when we started climbing the food chain. That came with conflict against other humans, of course, but also against nature itself.”
