Far Cry 5 — Hive

Far Cry 5 is an upcoming first-person shooter

action-adventure video game developed by

Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for

Microsoft Windows , PlayStation 4 and Xbox One . It is the eleventh installment and the fifth main title in the Far Cry series. It is scheduled to be released on February 27, 2018.

Similar to its predecessors, Far Cry 5 is an

action-adventure first-person shooter set in an

open world environment which players can explore freely on foot or via various vehicles. Unlike previous titles in the series where players take on the role of a set character, the game features a new character creator, which players can use to customize their character's appearances, gender and skin tone. [1][2] Players have a variety of ranged and explosive weapons to fight against enemies, while the game will place a renewed emphasis on close-quarters combat compared to previous Far Cry titles by introducing a wider range of melee weapons . [3] The game will also feature a recruitment system, in which players can recruit locals in the county to fight alongside them similar to the "Buddy" system used in Far Cry 2. In this "Guns for Hire" system, players need to convince other locals to join their cause, and every companion fighter has their own unique skills and personalities. Players can also tame wild animals through the "Fang for Hire" system, previously introduced in Far Cry Primal. The tamed wildlife will assist the player in combat and follow the players' orders. Different wildlife will have different combat patterns. [4] A fishing mechanic will also be introduced. [5] The campaign can be played individually or with a partner through the game's cooperative multiplayer mode. [6] The game will also feature a map editor, whose features have been expanded from previous titles. [7]
