I went hands-on with one of the chapters at a recent preview event in Montreal, sneaking around a surreal world presented in shades of orange and red and firing arrows at enemies with a bow that slows down time when drawn – very handy when taking on masked demons who can phase in out of existence, or a fire-flinging demon called a Scorcher.

Shifting from a gun-toting 21st-century freedom fighter to a mythical warrior trying to seize paradise back from a winged monster might seem a bit jarring, but the Far Cry series is nothing if not full of variety and surprises. While Far Cry 4 will follow the present-day story of a man named Ajay Ghale who runs afoul of the charismatic but dangerous ruler of a fictional Himalayan country, the game will have a secondary component that lets players assume the role of a noble warrior named Kalinag, fighting to liberate Shangri-La from a demon’s grip. MONTREAL – Blood-red rivers, fire-hurling demons and a magical white tiger that mauls enemies on command? This is a far cry from the usual vision of a heavenly paradise.Īt the Gamescom video game trade fair in Germany this week, Ubisoft Montreal took the wraps off a surprising new element of their upcoming action-adventure title Far Cry 4, one that will send players into a trippy, twisted take on the mythical land of Shangri-La.
