Far Cry Primal Release Date: 5 Things to Know

Published

on

The Far Cry Primal release date is just weeks away and there are several details that gamers need to know about the new Far Cry 2016 game that follows up on the epic adventure that Far Cry 4 delivered. We’ll share what you need to know about the Far Cry Primal release date for PS4, Xbox One and PC as well as deals and videos that you need to watch.

It is important to note that Far Cry Primal is not Far Cry 5. It is a step back into the past, where you take control of Takkar to shoot arrows, throw bombs made from minerals you discover and in a very Assassin’s Creed manner sneak around and silently take out the enemy.

You are more than just a hunter in this game. Takkar is a Beastmaster who can take control of wild animals like a sabretooth tiger, owl or bear.

In Far Cry Primal you d have weapons that you will use to make sure you survive the other tribes that you encounter, but you will not carry a gun like you do in most Far Cry games. This is a sandbox game set in 10,000 BC, so there are plenty of places to explore, but you will not have access to the same weapons as in other Far Cry games.

Here’s what gamers need to know about the Far Cry Primal release date and other important game details.

Far Cry Primal Release Date

The Far Cry Primal release date is February 23rd for Xbox One and PS4. There is slightly later Far Cry Primal PC release date, which arrives on March 1st.

This release timing works in the games favor, putting it on shelves and on consoles well ahead of most of the big games of 2016.
