Here's hoping
Ubisoft's open world shooter series, Far Cry, has stayed in more or less the same place since the immensely successful Far Cry 3 launched back in 2012.

Dani dimes
Far Cry 6 was already a fairly out-there open world experience when it launched last year, allowing you to fashion a firearm out of an old Walkman which would play the Macarena while you chopped down hordes of foes. Now it’s getting even crazier, with the release of the Lost Between Worlds expansion, due out on 6th December for $19.99...
News Ubisoft Seems to Think Far Cry 6 Was Game of the Year

UNO you want it
For those of you who don’t know, in addition to its blockbusters, Ubisoft also develops and releases a number of “casual” games on consoles, like Monopoly.

Franchise wars underway
Last week saw Far Cry 6 finally launch on PlayStation 5 and PS4, allowing players to set off on another sun-drenched and chaos-filled first-person adventure – this time set amongst the vistas of the Cuban-inspired Yara.

Restricted to PC for now
Ray tracing is a relatively nascent technology, so it’s perhaps not surprising that developers are taking their time to get to grips with it.
