Elephants are definitely going to be a big part of Far Cry 4. Not only do you get a snazzy Pagan Min Elephant throne statue if you buy the recently-announced Ultimate Kyrat Edition, but now Ubisoft have released a trailer showcasing just what the Elephants of Kyrat are capable of in-game.
The can be ridden, used to break through barricades, and asked to hurl enemies through the air – making them a useful ally in combat. No wonder Hannibal chose Elephants when he rode across the Alps. The trailer also suggests that they have a taste for human blood, but I have a feeling that might be somewhat untrue.
