Ubisoft has announced a new entry in the Far Cry series at Thursday’s The Game Awards. Far Cry New Dawn is set to release on February 15, 2019 on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
Far Cry New Dawn marks the first time the series dabbles in the post-apocalyptic. “Set seventeen years after a global nuclear catastrophe, Far Cry New Dawn brings players into a wildly beautiful and radically transformed Hope County, Montana. Life has begun to emerge from the chaos, but the survivors now face a new threat – the merciless Highwaymen and their leaders The Twins, Mickey and Lou.”, Ubisoft said in a press release.
The Highwaymen aim to take all the resources for themselves and it falls to the player, alongside the Survivors, to fight back. The Homebase is where you gather to “craft makeshift weapons and vehicles and train […] Guns for Hire”. The Homebase is also the starting point of Expeditions, missions set in various locations across the US that require going in, retrieving a valubale package and getting back out.
Far Cry New Dawn is a standalone sequel to FarCry 5 and supports single-player as well as two-player co-op.
The title is currently available for pre-order, with the Unicorn Trike vehicle acting as pre-order bonus. The Standard Edition is priced at £37.99, while the Deluxe Edition, which includes some bonus in-game items, costs £45.99. Check out the Far Cry New Dawn announcement trailer below.
