Yes, this is what we needed. Forget open worlds, shooter mechanics and pretty graphics, all anyone in their right mind is interest in regarding Far Cry 4 is the ‘weaponised elephants’.
Luckily Ubisoft has recognised this urgent need, and responded by releasing a new trailer showing those powerful pachyderms in action.
I’m not sure if elephants really do ”crave the taste of human blood” as the video suggests, but one thing is fairly certain - having your elephant mount fling soldiers around like ragdolls while you blast at stuff with a double-barreled shotgun looks like exactly the kind of ridiculous, over-the-top FPS action I’ve been missing this year.
Well, apart from Wolfenstein, obviously. Welcome back, Far Cry. See you this November.
