Far Cry 3 Writer Hints at Continuation of the Story, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Rated

One of the surprising hits of last year was Far Cry 3. Never before has an entry into the series been met with such critical and commercial success. When Ubisoft revealed their third quarter financial earnings, Far Cry 3 sold over 4.5 million copies and performed “much higher-than-expected”, said Ubi CEO Yves Guillemot.

To keep momentum going, it looks like Jason Brody’s efforts may bring about a sequel of some kind. In a recent interview with Joystiq, Far Cry 3’s lead writer Jeffrey Yohalem was asked whether he has something in mind for the game’s characters and setting. Yohalem said;

“Yes. I’m working on something now that will be surprising, I think, when it’s announced. But it definitely is a ‘strike while the iron’s hot’ thing, and we’ll see.”

Also, it appears that a game called Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has been rated for Xbox 360, PC and PS3 by the Brazilian Classification Board. Of course, no other details are known at this time, but more Far Cry 3 would be well received. The story engaged many and infuriated others, but there’s no denying that what Far Cry 3 did well was create a stunning open world, and one of video games’ great villians in Vaas Montenegro.
