Far Cry 3 Classic Edition Hunts Down a PS4 Release Date

Vaas good news

by Stephen Tailby Wed 28th Mar 2018

Amid all the announcements regarding Far Cry 5's season pass content, Ubisoft revealed that one of the most popular entries in the series, Far Cry 3, would be making its way to PlayStation 4 as a 'Classic Edition'. Yesterday, the publisher announced on Steam that the port will be releasing on 26th June 2018.

However, if you purchased the Far Cry 5 season pass, you'll be able to play Far Cry 3 Classic Edition four weeks earlier, from 29th May 2018. Pricing for the port itself has yet to be announced.

Will you be playing Far Cry 3 on PS4? Perhaps you missed it the first time around and want to see what all the fuss was about? Define insanity in the comments below.

Best in the series imo but maybe that's because it was before all the re-skinning started that we've come to see from far cry games of this day and age. Lovely world, relatable lead character and one of the best if not rather psychotic bad guys in any game.

"Classic edition" to me suggests that it won't be remastered in any way, just a straight port to PS4. I bought the Gold edition of FC5 which includes the season pass and thus FC3. I played & finished FC3 the first time round (on Xbox 360) but it'll be nice to have it in my PS4 library.

I never got to play it so I'm excited for this. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

@YummyHappyPills "No new features, modes, anything. It's just the game...as you remember it. Buy it again please."

So..er...the CLASSIC edition works perfectly as a name then. Not sure what you're getting at to be honest. If I buy classic Coke I don't expect it to taste of cherry.

Word up son, by the way.

@YummyHappyPills so..? To eleborate, it's just a bit of pizzazz. When I buy something I want it to be a fun experience. I want to feel like I'm spending money on something exciting. You're being a cynic, as usual. Let people have their fun.

Good little bonus for everyone that buys the season pass.

I'll just stick with my original copy.

I always preferred Far Cry 2. It's the only one I've managed to stick with until the end.

I was partial to Far Cry 3 and I actually completed it twice on 360. Doubt I'll bother with it again. After all, the protagonist is a bit of a bellend.

I'm confused... I have the FC5 season pass, so does this mean that FC3 will be free when it is released? Or do FC5 season pass holders only get early access and still have to pay full price for the game?

@Rooty1985 Yes you'll get it for free. The FC5 season pass includes 3 DLC packs AND FC3. You'll also get FC3 a month before it goes on general sale.

I have 3 or 4 play throughs on PS3 so a replay on PS4 is low on my list. However FC3 is a game i recommend to those yet to play it.

The location, animals , characters, story, and overall game play i found fun and interesting. If you liked FC4 and disliked FC2 then you should like FC3.
