Summary

  • Ubisoft confirms unintended censorship in a recent Far Cry 4 update.
  • Elements intended for the Japanese version of the game were accidentally pushed worldwide, but this has since been fixed.
  • No future plans to censor the Far Cry games.

Ubisoft admitted that the recent modification to Far Cry 4, which edited certain aspects of the game, was an unintentional mistake. They’ve already rectified this issue by reversing the changes made. The update to Far Cry 4 had censored some depictions of nudity in this ten-year-old game, causing concern among fans over the moral implications of altering games so far after their initial release.

Initially launched in November 2014, Far Cry 4 received both critical acclaim and commercial success. The popularity of the franchise was significantly boosted by its predecessor, Far Cry 3, but the quality of Far Cry 4 ensured its longevity. One of the memorable villains in the series, Pagan Min, from Far Cry 4, is a testament to this, following closely on the heels of Vaas from Far Cry 3. Over the years, there have been several Far Cry games, but for many fans, the fourth installment stands as a peak achievement for the series.

‘Unintended’ Far Cry 4 Censorship Has Been Fixed

As a dedicated fan, I was relieved to learn from the community developer’s second statement that the recent changes weren’t something new, but rather content from the Japanese version that had been live for years in other regions. It was heartening to know that an update has been implemented in Far Cry 4 to revert these changes, ensuring the worldwide data on Steam is accurate. The assurance that there are no plans to censor Far Cry in the future adds to my excitement. Now, I can delve back into one of the best Far Cry stories with the original experience fully restored.

It’s not yet clear whether Ubisoft will bring out a new installment of Far Cry 7, but fans are keeping their fingers crossed for any updates. There have been whispers about a revamped Far Cry extractor-style shooter brewing at Ubisoft, though it’s important to note that this is unconfirmed information. The latest addition to the series, Far Cry 6, was launched in 2021. Since the longest interval between mainline games has been four years, if there’s no new game released this year, a record will be set.
