Far Cry 3 in Development

Ubisoft Montreal's Kevin Shortt has confirmed that Far

Cry 3 is in development, with the game looking 'pretty

exciting' at this early stage.

Shortt worked as a writer on the second game, and

confirmed the existence of a third in an interview with

Official PlayStation Magazine UK (via CVG). Whether it

will remain in Africa or take on an all-new setting

remains open to speculation.

Far Cry 2 was an impressive sequel to Crytek's

groundbreaking original, with Ubisoft Montreal creating

one of the most thoughtful blockbusters of 2008,

earning an 8.4 in our original review.

Several members of the Far Cry 2 team are working on

the upcoming Avatar: The Game – which uses the same

engine as last year's open world shooter.
