Far Cry 3 is the upcoming sequel to the 2008 video game Far Cry 2.[3]
The sequel is in the pre-alpha stages of development. Far Cry 3 takes place on a jungle island in South America, with still images confirming location in "Cabo Blanko"[4] via store signs. However, Patrick Redding, a Ubisoft story designer, mentioned that an Antarctic setting is a possibility for future games.[5] The presence of a wrecked Mitsubishi A6M Zero at the beginning of the official trailer would set the game somewhere in the Pacific. The main goal of the game is to escape from the island and its crazed inhabitants.
