The Year is 2007, it is the Future
Far Cry 3 is one of the best open world games in a long time, something that I will espouse every chance that I can get. The only problem is the story is hard to penetrate, if you look at it on the surface level it seems to be a typical white-mans guilt/colonialism story.
Except the best parts of Far Cry 3 are when you don’t take it seriously where you grab a hang glider, jump off a cliff shoot up a camp site only to succumb to the angry horde of Kimono Dragons that you have for some reason angered.
Ubisoft seems to recognize this with the announcement of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, where upon you are jettisoned into the future to the year 2007. The Earth is ravaged from nuclear war and the United States Cyborg army thinks it has found the way for peace, as you Sergeant Rex Power Colt travel to an island to find out how.
The year is 2007. It is the future. Earth has been ravaged by a nuclear war and new paths for peace must be found. A U.S. cyborg army may have found a solution: a powerful bioweapon on a distant island. A Mark IV Cyber Commando, Sergeant Rex Power Colt has been sent over to gather information and figure out what the hell is going on.
Now I know it is April 1st and I would certainly be sceptical if I found this out info out of the blue, about a ridiculous stand alone DLC. Except this particular Ubisoft project has been leaking information for a while now about the fact that it is an actual thing, along with the Brazilian Classification Board posting was found a while ago. The achievement list and box art were leaked for the upcoming game, and while not official hint towards Blood Dragon being a Xbox Live Arcade title without the need to own Far Cry 3.
So enjoy this crazy trailer for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
