Explore the breathtaking Himalayan world of Kyrat.
Far Cry 4 drops players into the breathtaking Himalayan region of Kyrat, a fictional country ruled by the charismatic and terrifying despot Pagan Min. As Ajay Ghale, you return to your homeland to scatter your mother's ashes but become entangled in a civil war between Min's royal army and the Golden Path resistance. The open world is vertically oriented with mountains, valleys, and fortresses creating a layered playground for creative chaos. New tools include the buzzer (a personal helicopter), grappling hook for cliff scaling, and riding elephants into enemy outposts. The Shangri-La mystical sequences transport players to a colorful mythological realm. Co-op allows a friend to join your entire campaign seamlessly. The wildlife ecosystem creates emergent gameplay as tigers, eagles, and rhinos clash with enemies and players alike.
