Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Seems to be Real, Looks Awesome

Initially, we thought this might be some form of April Fool’s Joke, but it does seem to be real, as intrepid NeoGAF investigators have discovered screenshots, thanks to Xbox.com putting up a box art and screens.

There’s lots of media floating about over at the official page, here, but the boxart and screens really do make it look like it’s happening, which is cool, as it looks fantastically fun. From that official page, the story is:

The year is 2007. It is the future. Earth has been ravaged by a nuclear war and new paths for peace must be found. A U.S. cyborg army may have found a solution: a powerful bioweapon on a distant island. A Mark IV Cyber Commando, Sergeant Rex Power Colt has been sent over to gather information and figure out what the hell is going on.

I mean, I’d feel more comfortable if there were some screenshots of actual dragons, but it looks great, and did I mention the hero’s name is apparently REX COLT?

Well, now I have. Check out the screenshots below, especially the packshot, where there’s a dragon shooting laser beams out of its eyes. Yes.
