Far Cry Primal will be offered on the PlayStation 4 from Sony and the Xbox One from Microsoft on February 23, and gamers who want to play it on the PC will have to wait until March 1.
Gamers will play a hunter who can tame animals
Primal is a clear sign that Ubisoft is happy with the idea of taking the ore Far Cry formula in some non-conventional directions, as it first did with the Blood Dragon spin-off, which was well received by the fan community and by reviewers.
The new title will cast gamers in the role of Takkar, a hunter who is ambushed and left alone and without any tools or weapons in a valley, able to tame animals to defend himself and survive.
The story follows the character as he becomes more powerful and challenges for a leadership of the tribe of humans living in the land of Oros, around 12,000 years before present time.
Far Cry Primal does not feature any guns and gamers will have to use melee weapons and short range bows to deal with enemies, with the developers promising that combat will feel engaging and fun.
Crafting is more important than in previous installments in the series, and players will even have to worry around making fire survive and finding enough food to sustain them during their adventures.
The land of Oros is populated with mammoths and saber tooth tigers, and the title will feature both hunting moments focused on these powerful creatures and the ability for players to tame them or ride them.
Ubisoft says that it has worked with linguists to create the special language featured in Far Cry Primal and that it wants the experience to mix fun gameplay and some realistic moments.
The game will not feature a multiplayer mode.
