Where does the Far Cry series go next? Â That’s the question that Ubisoft has been asking Far Cry 4 players recently, with a questionnaire about possible settings for the open-world franchise. Â The last two games in the series have followed very similar patterns, but the possible settings that Ubisoft presents to players in a poll revealed by Eurogamer suggest that things could be wildly different in future games.
Some of the more creative settings include a Jurassic Park-like world, a game set during a zombie outbreak, a world that includes Vampires, and many others.
Eleven different settings were posed to players in the questionnaire, the full list can be found below:
- A Far Cry game in remote Alaska about surviving extreme wilderness
- A Far Cry game in a futuristic sci-fi setting on another planet
- A Far Cry game set in the Vietnam War during the 1960’s
- A Far Cry game set in the cocaine trafficking jungles of Peru
- A Far Cry game where you can fight against or join Vampires
- A Far Cry game in the Spaghetti Western style set in the late 19th century Americas
- A Far Cry game that is set during a zombie outbreak
- Blood Dragon 2: A sequel to Blood Dragon with more Rex Power Colt
- A Far Cry game set in a Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic world
- A Far Cry game in the present day on a Jurassic Park-style island of dinosaurs
- A Far Cry game based on the world of Shangri-La from Far Cry 4
Ubisoft has done these surveys in the past, and they’ve traditionally been good hints as to where the series is heading. Â Wherever that may be, it seems that Ubisoft has plenty in store for Far Cry fans going forward. Far Cry 4 released in fall 2014 to critical acclaim, and was our favorite shooter of the year.
