Watch Kyrat in Far Cry 4 in all new PVP trailer

In “Battles of Kyrat”, the Far Cry 4 world is shown in a completely different way. The player’s battles take on the form of a re-telling of a long-past war that Pagan Min’s elite guard, the Rakshasa, fought against the Golden Path rebellion. Each faction has their own unique set of weapons and skills and players will have to adapt to their strengths and weaknesses while making their own progress within this multiplayer mode.

FC4_Screen_PvP_Sniper_Ambush_301014_5pm_ParisTime

The Rakshasa are the mythical warriors of Kyrat with strong ties to their natural surroundings. They can call upon animals to help in both defending and attacking positions. The Rakshasa only use traditional weapons, specifically the bow, but are capable of crafting multiple alterations to their weapons. On the other hand, the Golden Path is all about its arsenal: guns, vehicles and tech-enhanced capabilities. They have access to a variety of weapon types, including assault rifles, shotguns, and multiple explosives. Finally, the Golden Path has access to bell towers, allowing them to spot the hidden enemy from far away.

The PvP mode consists of:

  • 5v5 round-based matches.
  • Asymmetrical gameplay where the players take on each faction. The team with the best overall performance on both wins the match.
  • 20 minutes average match length.
  • 10 maps at launch
  • 3 modes:
    • Outpost – the Golden Path works to establish an outpost in the region while the Rakshasa has to get rid of them and secure the outpost for Pagan Min.
    • Propaganda – the Golden Path has to destroy three Pagan Min installations while the Rakshasa protects them.
    • Demon Mask – both sides have to find the mask and return it to their home base.

In Far Cry 4 players will experience the most expansive and immersive Far Cry ever, in an entirely new, massive open-world. Players will find themselves in Kyrat, a breath-taking, perilous and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king. Using a vast array of weapons, vehicles and animals, players will write their own story across an exotic open-world landscape. Developed by Ubisoft Montréal in collaboration with other Ubisoft studios, Far Cry 4 will be available worldwide on November 18 for PlayStation®4 and PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC.

Watch Assassins Creed Unity – The Celebrity Co-op

0

Ubisoft has uncovered online footage of perhaps the greatest session of Assassin’s Creed four player co-op.

The video was posted online by an Xbox LIVE user with the name DavidAttenbro and features four players taking on one of the co-operative missions in the new Ubisoft videogame Assassin’s Creed Unity.

In the video posted on YouTube yesterday (29th October) , the users DavidAttenbro, MorganF Da Man, SchwarzeKiller and ChattyManAl69 navigate the rooftops of 18th Century Revolutionary Paris and attempt to break into a French aristocrat’s cavernous mansion in a quest to locate a valuable hidden painting.

Some experts are speculating that the voices in the video are in fact those of British naturalist David Attenborough, Hollywood actors Morgan Freeman and Arnold Schwarzenegger and British talk show host Alan Carr.

Others are speculating that the video is the work of renowned impressionist Terry Mynott, whose uncanny celebrity impressions feature in the recent Channel 4 series, The Mimic.

Ubisoft are unable to verify whether either of these are true but they can confirm that everyone will be able to enjoy the new co-op multiplayer mode in Assassin’s Creed Unity, when the game is released on Friday 14th November in the UK.
