Ubisoft Working On 'Far Cry Primal,' Out This February

Another "Far Cry" game is coming in February 2016. This time around, it will bring gamers to a prehistoric world where humans are prey to large predators like sabertooth tigers and mammoths and they need to work hard to survive off the land.

According to a report in Game Rant, the game is set in the Stone Age, about 12,000 years in the past, where one gets to play Takkar, a human who finds himself stranded in the valley of Oros after the end of the Ice Age. In order to survive, he must hunt and craft and he must also find ways to protect himself from savage beasts, as well as other hunters.

The game was announced after Ubisoft tweeted a photo of a mysterious cave painting, which then led to a livestream which featured a closer look of the cave painting of hunters and beasts, with sounds of savage beasts in the background. The official game trailer was revealed 24 hours later, showing Takkar working with a group of hunters as if he were part of a tribe to hunt down a mammoth. As shown in the trailer, players need to craft and make their tools and weapons and learn to use fire for different survival purposes.

The game is described by Ubisoft as a "full-fledged single player experience" so it is not yet known or confirmed whether the other hunters in the tribe are AI-controlled characters.

The game will be arriving on current generation consoles, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 on February 23, 2016, while a PC version will be released in March. It is the fifth game in the "Far Cry" franchise. The last game that was released was "Far Cry 4." According to the game's creative director, they saw the Stone Age as the "perfect setting" for the game. It is also reflective of the "experimental approach" that Ubisoft usually takes with the Far Cry franchise.

Ubisoft Montreal is taking the lead in development, but it also involves studios in Toronto, Kiev and Shanghai.
