Far-Cry mystery: Ubisoft airs great mystery after 13 years

The Enemy is the launching solo cd by Emperor frontman Ihsahn. Launched on 10 April 2006, it is the initial in a theoretical trilogy of cds including angL and After. It includes a guest vocal appearance by Ulver s Garm. The album has actually been kept in mind for its stylistic variety, incorporating severe steel as well as modern and also timeless steel influences.

Do you still remember the adversary from Far Cry 2? The Schakal was an American weapon smuggle to turn off to end the civil war in Africa. 13 years later, Ubisoft finally reveals what it really has on the antagonist.

From the hero to villain: The jackal is Jack Carver

While in the first Far Cry is still on a tropical island, Ubisoft at Far Cry 2 snapped a completely different direction and sent you as a mercenary in a civil war area in Africa. Your task: finds a weapon smuggler named The Schakal , which supplies both sides with weapons, and puts it around.

But who is the jackal actually? In the game you will find out only a few details - but fans of the series had the theory many years ago that the American antagonist could act around the main character of the first game: Jack Carver . Externally, both characters are strong, they both have the same career lobes at the military behind them, also Carver also evoked as smugglers at the time.

Ubisoft considered this situation so far covered and gave no further details price - at least until now. In an interview, Clint Hocking, Creative Director of Far Cry 2, ventilated, now the secret of the 13 year old game:

The jackal should actually be Jack Carver from the original Far Cry. (...) Jack Carver was in original Far Cry a kind of crayon, smuggler and weapon slider. The idea was that (the jackal) just he is - 10 years later or so - after seeing what happened on this island.

Maybe it was drug-induced, maybe it s a post-traumatic stress disorder, maybe it is also real. But the idea is that he has improved his smuggling arts for a decade and was involved in this conflict.
