This week at DreamHack, a computer festival in Sweden, Ubisoft Montreal unveiled over 20 minutes from the upcoming game, Far Cry 2. Far Cry 2 is the much anticipated first person shooter from Ubisoft, and is currently in development for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.



Far Cry 2, the sequel to Far Cry, is an open ended, non-linear game. The game takes place amidst an unspecific vast land in Africa with terrains varying from Savannah to jungle. Ubisoft Montreal promises an extremely detailed environment. They will use actual footage of wildlife they studied while researching for the game in Africa. Ubisoft has also created a new engine just for the game. The engine is called Dunia. Unlike the original Far Cry the player will not be Jack Carver but instead will have the option of being one of nine different characters.
