Det er ingen hemmelighet at Far Cry 4 skal utspille seg i Himalaya, men det var langt fra noen selvfølge. Vincent Ouellette fra Ubisoft fortalte nylig i et intervju om hvilke andre alternativer som lå på bordet:
"It wasn't like, bam, right on Himalayas. We were looking at the whole world at the same time. We were looking at South America, we looked at Russia - we looked pretty much everywhere but pretty early on we realised the Himalayas would be great.
Han fortsetter med å fortelle hvordan de tok ideene og konseptene for de ulike miljøene med seg til Ubisoft før de tok en avgjørelse:
"...not only did we have different ideas for locations but also different ideas for stories. There was a premise or story idea for each location that we picked. But the more we dug in each location the more we were sure the Himalayas were perfect for a Far Cry game."
Far Cry 4 slippes til PC, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360 og Xbox One den 18. november.
