First, there were hints of updates for Far Cry. Now the updates are available.
Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, and Primal have received support for 60 frames per second and 4K resolution on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. This makes shooting more responsive and the overall experience smoother, even considering the age of the PS3-era originals.
Each of the games relies on its own idea: Far Cry 3 is the classic formula of the series, Blood Dragon is neon retrofuturism, and Primal is a prehistoric sandbox without firearms. Improved performance gives a chance to attract a new audience.
Against the backdrop of updates, the future of the series is being discussed again. Rumor has it that Far Cry 7 may offer a time pressure mechanic: players will supposedly be given 24 hours to save the protagonist's family.
