Far Cry Primal is the newest edition to the Far Cry series. This action-adventure game is set in the stone age in an open world based in pre-historic times inspired by the Mesolithic Age and comes complete with three cavemen like tribes and animals like the woolly mammoth and the saber toothed tiger.

Players will assume the role of tribesman called Takkar, who is stranded without any means of protection after his tribe was attacked. The purpose of the game is for Takkar to rise to power and become the leader of his tribe. Each tribe speaks a different dialects (the three dialects are known in the game as Wenja, Izila and Udam). Staying true to the era, no modern modes of transport or modern weaponry are available in the game. Rather, the weaponry available is that of the periods, such a clubs, spears, bows and axes. Weaponry must also be hand crafted from scavenged materials.

The creators have said that they wanted to focus on "core game play" and as a result the decision was made early on that this game will not be available in multiplayer mode.

Two special editions of the game will be available, the Collector's Edition (that will feature a number of physical items including a Wenja phrase book, a steelbook and a collector's book) and the Digital Apex Edition that will only be available for digital purchase (and that will include extra packs, in game missions and extra weaponry).

Far Cry Primal will be available on PS4 and XBOX ONE on 23 February 2016 and on Microsoft Windows on 1 March 2016.
