Ubisoft Announces Far Cry 2!!!

Ubisoft has officially announced the sequel to it's highly acclaimed first-person-shooter (FPS) game, 'Far Cry', but is holding back on any kind of details.

"Far Cry 2" is presently being developed by Ubisoft's Montreal studio, while it's prequel was developed by German development studio, Crytek (Crysis).

The intellectual property rights to the 'Far Cry' franchise were taken over by Ubisoft in March 2006. 'Far Cry' reportedly won PC Gamer's 'Action Game of the Year' Award in 2004.

Commenting on the 'Far Cry' franchise, Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft, said, "Far Cry marked the beginning of a new era for shooters. An era of gorgeous graphics, and of advanced artificial intelligence. We are confident that 'Far Cry 2' will have the same impact again on the FPS landscape."

As the game has just been announced -- that too the PC version, it appears that fans of 'Far Cry' will have to wait until spring next year to get a feel of the game's next iteration...
