Ubisoft Montreal's
Far Cry: New Dawn is set 17 years after a global nuclear catastrophe you definitely witnessed if you've played
Far Cry 5. During that period, the world has changed, as The Twins have replaced The Father as the main villain of the story. In
New Dawn, these children of atom are leading the Highwaymen, who seek to take over the last remaining resources of this completely ruined world.
The Game Informer crew recently had a chance to check out the latest build of
New Dawn and you can check out their hands-on impressions down below. The 8 minutes long (available in 4K!) video spotlights the core mechanics of
New Dawn, and while the shooting system hasn't changed much (if it ain't broke...), the environments definitely have, as Ubisoft's apocalypse is teeming with life.
Yes, the player will have a chance to purchase at least two AAA video games set in post-apocalyptic worlds that present a drastically different vision of the end of the world, as both
Far Cry: New Dawn and
RAGE 2 are filled with colors and pure "fun." What's even better, you will even visit other parts of the ruined US in some special missions. Be sure to check out the current state of Hope County below:
Dive into a transformed vibrant post-apocalyptic Hope County, Montana, 17 years after a global nuclear catastrophe. Join fellow survivors and lead the fight against the dangerous new threat the Highwaymen, and their ruthless leaders The Twins, as they seek to take over the last remaining resources.
Far Cry: New Dawn launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 15, 2019.
