After Monster Hunter, it’s the turn of Ubisoft’s iconic license, Far Cry, to take a huge step forward and set an event not to be missed for fans.
Capcom’s Monster Hunter sagas and Ubisoft’s Far Cry have nothing in common, except this year. The two successful licenses are 20 years old in 2024! Yes, the first episode of FC, developed at the time by Crytek, was released in 2004. Since then, water has flowed under the bridges, Ubi fully manages the franchise, and 12 games have been launched – including the spin off. Such an anniversary is worth celebrating, and for 10 days, there will be promotions on the different opuses. But another event is fast approaching.
Far Cry 7 announced for the 20th anniversary of the license?
“Far Cry launched on March 23, 2024, which means that next week it will be 20 years since Jack Craver washed up on the shore of a tropical paradise infested with hostile mercenaries. To celebrate, all games in the franchise are benefiting from a reduction of up to -85% on the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and other online stores. And this until April 3 – the date depends on the platforms » can we read on the Ubi website. And indeed, the start of promotions, the degree of discount, and the titles offered vary from one platform to another. This will be valid on the Ubisoft Store and Steam as mentioned, but also on the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store.
To find out everything, you can find the list of Far Cry games on sale, and several DLCs, on the Ubi website. At the same time, Ubisoft announces a special 20th anniversary livestream for Thursday March 21 at 6:00 p.m. (French time). This meeting will be an opportunity for developers to “share anecdotes and memorable moments from the history of the series”. A behind-the-scenes look at the iconic saga, which will also be rewarded with Twitch Drops. Gifts that are offered to those who watch the event live on the platform.
A suitable place for the announcement of Far Cry 7, the rumored multi-FC game or a new Blood Dragon? No, you can forget. Like Capcom which refutes any information on MH Wilds, Ubisoft is not ready to disclose the future of its saga in the short or medium term. “We will not announce any new games or new content” declares account X of the license. At least it’s clear and clear, and it’s impossible to be disappointed on the big day.
