Far Cry II release dates announced Page: 1

It's nearly here!

Far Cry II release date announced Ubisoft have announced the release dates for Far Cry II, and there will be a collector's edition available too. Pencilled in for release on October 24th, the sequel will be launched on all formats on this date (PC, PS3 & Xbox 360). Far Cry II is set in Africa and plot centres around a mercenary group who are trying to oust an African warlord. Some welcome news for dual and quad core CPU owners is that the new game will utilise multi-threading and the AI and Havoc game engine will be run as seperate threads on the CPU's, so dual and quad core based systems should see a good performance increase.

The Collectors Edition will feature:

Exclusive wooden box
Original Far Cry® 2 Game
Limited edition Far Cry® 2 t-shirt
“The Art of Far Cry® 2” Art book
Collector 50km² map
Making-of DVD
