Today, Ubisoft announced Far Cry 4, an open-world, first-person shooter that delivers the most expansive and immersive Far Cry experience ever. Far Cry 4 will be available November 21 in the UK for PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.

Development on Far Cry 4 is being led by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with Ubisoft’s Red Storm Entertainment, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Kiev.

In Far Cry 4, players find themselves in Kyrat, a breathtaking, perilous and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king.  Using a vast array of weapons, vehicles, and animals, players will write their own story across an exotic open-world landscape.

“Following the success of Far Cry 3, we wanted to take the franchise to the next level and create a game that will surprise players and exceed fans’ expectations,” said Dan Hay, Executive Producer.  “Given the unique setting, we feel Far Cry 4 will stand out as a top first-person shooter and we’re eager to reveal more about the game in the coming months.”

    1. Wiiu Just To weak For next gen games Sorry to tell u -Please Understand Iwata 2014 Confirmed

      1. No. It’s because Nintendo has been growing a smaller install base of kids. Why put your M rated game on a system Nintendo has gone to great lengths to make a kid console. Mario Kart had my favorite console villains removed and replaced with babies (literally) and they excluded their core gamers for two years. There are not enough of us to buy this game on WiiU. :(

          1. So then why you want Nintendo games to go 3rd party? You’re not intrested in Smash Bros. on Play Station right?

          2. I still game on it! I’m just saying most people like me are leaving. But since I’m a masochistic fool, I’m going to see the console though 2014 / 2015, then reassess my relationship with Nintendo.

      2. Damage Control Ambulance Medics

        Sir, please take your medication before I get my colleague here to use legal force to apply the cream again.

        1. And the Wii U IS next gen, gen refers to the time frame that the console is being produced before the next console by that company comes out… It has nothing to do with specs.

      3. If Watch Dogs runs at 30 fps on PS4 and XB1 , Far Cry 4 will run at 20 fps. GO AWAY WITH YOUR NEXT GEN, TROLL!

        1. Wii U is more powerfull as PS3 or XBox360.

          Far Cry 4 will be released on those.
          This does not make any sense, idiot

        1. New material wouldn’t hurt. The fact you keep repeating the same stuff tells me you can’t function without somebody’s insult. You’re a degenerate, haha

  1. no farcry4WeakU#WiiuLastGenConfirmed#NintendoFeggitzCanSuckIT#Exposed#WiiGotNoPowerForU#NintendoDead#DamageControlInc

    1. Damage Control Ambulance Medics

      Oh god no…. the Damage Control Aids has spread like wild firer! DAMAGE CONTROL ALERT!! EVERYONE GET OUT OF THE SITE, WE HAVE FOUND 2 INFECTED PEOPLE!!

    2. Trolling Bureau Of Investigations Officer

      ”3rd party games suck anyways.”- Said by Nostalgia_w only

      Sir, you have to stop making mistakes in your logic and your punctuation. Now step away from the keyboard.

        1. I never knew that. But Wii had a bigger install base than Wii U though so it’s makes sense. I wouldn’t buy it. I would like to see some fiction games besides just Nintendo. I want to see some platformers like Banjo-Kazooie or a new IP. But dumb Microsoft rather push Halo and not try Banjo-Kazooie. They bought it, use it. I would buy a Xbox one for a real Banjo game. All I see on PS4 AND xBOXONE IS REALISTIC gaming. with just better graphics than PS3/360 full of CGI like a movie.

        2. Yet yall still posted this news about Far Cry 4 not coming to the Wii U when this indeed a Nintendo fan site…smh. You act as if us Nintendo fans wanna read about games not to the Wii U but I guess that’s part of the plan, post up click bait news like this to get Nintendo fans in a frenzy. Damn shame

      1. Damage Control Ambulance Medics

        Sir sir please, stop infecting everyone. We advice you to stop wearing the fedora and shave the beard because Damage Control Aids has been know to spread through the hairs on your neck beard and is the leading cause of DCA

      2. It would be intresting to see what Wii U can handle graphicly on a real life based game. However, 3rd party developers aren’t putting those types of games on Wii U. Do I care? No. Besides you can do all types of things on fictional games and let your imagination do whatever you want it to do. Fry Cry, AC4, COD, you have to play by the laws of nature. That’s why realistic gaming is not my first priorty in gaming. Now a Bear with a Bird on his backpack is way better or a plumber wearing a cat suit and can climb walls. Or better yet EA’s racing games and those other realistic racing games are bore if you are dead last. What’s so fun about holding down a button and using the analog stick to steer? At least MK8 you can hit people with items.

        I like graphics but COD, AC same shit different name. Displays a gun on the screen, see the player’s back the whole time. Map is located lower corner or upper corner. Options or cheats to get new guns. *Yawns*

        1. Excuse him for wanting diversity, other than the good ol’ Nintendo franchises we have been seeing for 25 years already.

    1. Exactly. A high end PC beats both XBoner and PS4 for third party games. With any company it’s money first though and Ubisoft likely believe the game won’t sell enough on wii u, or are just being lazy. It’s not a Wii U technical issue, but developers argue the hardware may be difficult to aquire great results. Nintendo may be the only ones to prove them wrong in future and show what can be done. Everyone is trying to mimick reality rather than great design for great gameplay these days. sadly!

      1. Xbone and PS fanboys can be so funny sometimes: “Nintendo’s graphics suck. PC has better graphics than us? Well, who cares about the graphics, game play is all that matters!”

        While graphics help the game alot, I would choose gane play over good graphics and story any day!

  2. further proof Ubi does not give a fuck about Nintendo. Seriously zero reason this would skip Wii U. The boycott of Ubi a.k.a. EA 2.0 will continue

    1. It really doesn’t make any sense if it’s not coming to the Wii U especially when it’s coming to the Xbox 360 & PS3. I’m really considering canceling my preorder for Watch_Dogs including the PC version because of bullshit like this. It’s a shame that even Ubisoft is starting to give up on the Wii U when they said they wouldn’t. They are becoming like EA now

    2. Boycotting UBISHOFT and not buying Wii U games will not do anything. Ubisoft will have 4 other consoles that will bring in revenue.

      1. Who gives a shit what other platforms the game is gonna be on? This is a Nintendo fan site. Some people may not to play this game on other platforms did you ever stop to think about that? And so what if their gonna collect revenue from other platforms, they could’ve gotten more revenue had they quit acting like assholes and release it for the Wii U too. This is bullshit

        1. Yeah will if it wasn’t for Rayman Legends selling the best on Wii U, I’m sure we wouldn’t be playing Watch Dogs for the Wii U. But you’re trying to get us to boycott watch dogs. It’s not going to do anything but make more and more 3rd party back away from the Wii U. I like Nintendo as much as you but you gotta be realistic, Xbox One and PS4 is doing someting Wii U can’t do and that’s hype. Microsoft and Sony proved you don’t always need software to increase hardware.

        2. You mean like the revenue they made with Splinter Cell? Assassin’s Creed? The poor sales Watch_Dogs is going to inevitably post for the Wii U. Wii U sales of Splinter Cell and Assassin’s Creed barely made up 1 percent of total sales across all platforms, which is certainly not worth development costs. Rayman Legends and Just Dance are the only real successes Ubisoft has had with the Wii U. Why would Ubisoft waste money bringing their games to the Wii U when Wii U owners aren’t going to support it? Just so YOU and a handful of others won’t bitch about it in Nintendo news websites?

          1. Right!!! I like Nintendo too but we all know Far Cry and AC do better in sales on Sony and Microsoft devices. Just a fact. But if Nintnedo wants games like that on their console, bring out Metroid, F-Zero and Starfox and ignore Mario for a few years, then mabye Ubisoft will reconsider. It’s up to Nintnedo to bring those FPS gamers to a Nintendo console.

            1. Not only that, but it’s also up to Nintendo fans to stop stubbornly refusing to support 3rd party titles. If we want companies like WB and Ubisoft to continue bringing their games to Nintendo consoles, we have to put our money where our mouths are and buy the damn games. That’s how Nintendo fans can let 3rd party developers know that we want their games on Nintendo consoles. I have bought more 3rd party titles for the Wii U than Nintendo games (that’s partly to do with the fact that there haven’t been many great Nintendo games released for the system….yet).

  3. Pingback: Far Cry 4 annunciato da Ubisoft. Niente Wii U. | GameBack

  4. There is no Nintendo news present in this ‘article.’ Not a single sentence.

    But hey, if you mention the Wii U in the title, it belongs on a Nintendo news site…. right?

  5. Lol Poor weak U this will go down as the most homosexual console in history, reason why the public don’t like it,because it’s gay and just like homosexuals, they weak in bed

    Never before has a current gen console gotten less 3rd party new releases then a last gen console, Xbox360 and ps3 are still getting more 3rd party support then this gay Weak U

    1. I know you beat your meat plenty of nights cause judging from maturity a woman would have to be mentally dysfunctional to deal with a loser like you LOL

    2. Why are you saying weak U? Ignoring that the game is going on Xbox 360 and PS3 too. Unless you are trying to tell me the PS3 is more powerful than the Wii U now? If the Wii U is weaker than the PS3, list me some PS3 tittles with 4K-8K textures? Also ignoring that Wii U’s version of watch dogs is between PS3 and PS4. So therfore shows UBISOFT DECIDED not to bring this game I never played or was interested in playing to the Wii U anyway.

  6. A shame for the people that only owns a Wii U, I guess, but I’ll be getting it for the PC. I’ve played all the others on PC, so it’s kind of a tradition for me.

    1. I only own a Wii U because all Sony and Microsoft games are FPS. If Microsoft made a Banjo-Kazooie or other fictional platformers, I’d buy it.

  7. Nintendo just started to rise with the MK8 and received great support for E3 and now this! It’s not good, no way!

      1. At least Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong feel like 3 different games unlike Fry Cry, COD, Titan.

        Mabye W101 will get milked and make a sequal but I’ll tell you one thing, it sure won’t feel like playing Zelda. Pikmin may get milked and with a PIKMIN 4. But it feel like pikmin not Starfox. That’s why Super Smash Bros. characters feel different. Everyone doesn’t have a gun, everyone doesn’t run the same or walk the same or jump the same.
        Also isn’t Nintendo supposed to reveal a new IP at E3?

  8. the only far cry game on a nintendo system was far cry vengeance for wii. which didn’t turn out well in all aspects. can’t blame them.

  9. If you want to play quality games, buy a Wiiu, if you want to play repetitive FPS with the control of the 90’s, buy a PS4/Xone.

    multiplats suckers.

    1. Amen. I was over my friends house last weekend. He had a PS3. All I saw was FPS after FPS, after FPS. I shoudl have brought my Wii U so we could have played something totally fun and different for once.

  10. Who said anything about Turok here? Turok Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil of N64 is better than all the FPS of this generation together, are one of the best FPS ever made, if placed in a Top 30 for example.

    1. RE Zero and RE4 were the best Resident Evils ever created. That’s why I have not bought Revelation on Wii U because it’s not like RE Zero or Four. I like shooting games but it’s got to grab my attention in a special way. That’s why I’m grabbing Watch Dogs for Wii U. That’s why I don’t give a rats ass if Fry Cry Four isn’t not coming to Wii U. Also I didn’t buy Ghost or Black. Nothing was earth shattering. It just looked like a traditional pow pow bang bang game. Boring.

      I do like GTA5 but I only play those games to start trouble and not do the missions. I love real world environment games like shooting people in the streets or fighting or stealing cars. I really don’t give a rats ass about FPS with graphics at 1080P 60FPS though. That’s why I didn’t buy NFS for the Wii U? For what? Just call it “Drive Club” and you couldn’t even tell the freaking differance. I’ll just wait for the unique racing game called “MK8.”

  11. One less watered down pc fps port xb1 and ps4 copies will both be broken like all ported fps games

  12. by now even the last person should have realized how far the much cited “ubisoft support” for the wii u goes.. which is not all that far

    tbh it was pretty obvious the moment they delayed rayman legends but people (especially the ubisoft PR department) still kept claiming ubisoft was an adamant supporter

  13. I might get it for PC, once its 50% off.
    Only Far Cry I have been able to finish was the first one.
    Second was utter shit, and 3rd one was kind of boring and repetitive.

    1. So Far Cry isn’t even all that. What ground breaking games that isn’t coming to the Wii U is earth shattering?

      1. I would be mildly annoyed if Beyond Good and Evil 2 didnt come, I loved the first one on GameCube.But still, could get it for PC.
        Cancellation of Bayonetta 2 would make me pick up my Wii U, fly to Dubai, and throw the damn thing off from top of the Burj Khalifa.
        Other than that, cant really think of a game I’d want for Wii U currently.

  14. This news is just stating the obvious. Wii U is dead because Nintendo doesn’t want to compete. So why would they get games from competing systems? Ugh.

  15. What’s next? Halo announced for Xbox, skipping Wii U? Seriously, if it’s not coming to Wii U then we don’t want to hear about it!

  16. Really doesn’t make sense why they won’t support the console.

    They’re doing other games for it, so why should this one not hit Wii U?

    I would love to play it as I am looking for a good FPS. Far Cry 3 was very good.

  17. SICKR knows just how to rack up the views for his articles.
    –>Bring up games that are skipping the Wii U and going to other consoles. Check.
    –>Allow trolls to remain on the site to rile up the comment section with comments such as “Wii U is last Gen and too weak”, or “Wii U is dead”. Check.
    –>Profit

    1. Yea I know hate that fagget silverfox is cooler than sickr he posts good news unlike this fag I really think this guy isn’t a Nintendo fan

  18. Face it kids, Wii U is dead.

    MK8 looks great and fun and all, but so did a lot of Games for Dreamcast and that still bit the dust.

    Nintendo just screwed up this gen. The economy, the novelty of the Wii brand wearing off, and the severe lack of both system-selling games (first AND third party), as well and the lack of real “next-gen” specs when you consider the power that the GamePad eats up from the already less-powerful-than-others Wii U… they were facing impossible odds with all of that.

    Nintendo’s only hope is to, next gen (or mid-gen this generation), release a beefed up backwards-compatible (with Wii U titles) new console that matches or better yet exceeds the specs of XB1 and PS4 (even if only slightly), without the expensive & power-hungry tablet, and line up at least a handful of AAA “must-have” titles, with at least 3 of them being exclusives and/or third-party titles.

    That is OBVIOUSLY the formula that works for this gen, as Nintendo’s competitors have proven. And if they can match that, AND bring Nintendo’s great capacity for creating fun games, they may just have a shot.
