Far Cry 4’s first piece of Season Pass content is out now. The Escape from Durgesh Prison solo and co-op mission forces players to test their skills in a series of challenges in order to gather weapons and equipment to make their escape.
“When players die they must restart the mission and use the knowledge and skills they gained during their previous run through to help them reach the extraction point successfully,” explains Ubisoft. As close to a roguelike as Far Cry is probably ever going to get, then.
Weapons and gear you manage to secure before dying will be available when you restart the level, but the less you die and the quicker you complete the mission and escape, the greater your score. There will be global leaderboards to test yourselves against. The mission is set just after main character Ajay’s escape from secondary antagonist Yuma’s prison complex, and as usual he’s joined by loudmouth irritant Hurk if you choose to play with a friend. You can check out how the basics work in a short walkthrough video from Ubisoft, posted above.
Escape from Durgesh Prison is available as part of the Far Cry 4 Season Pass, or can be purchased separately for $9.99.
