A recent rating from European ratings board PEGI seems to suggest a new Far Cry game is on the way.
As spotted by GameRant, a listing for a game titled Captain Laserhawk Niji Warrior recently appeared on PEGI’s website, though the page has since been taken down. For some context, if this is real, it would technically be a spin-off of a spin-off of a spin-off; Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is a Netflix animated series that released last year, which was a spin-off animated series based on Blood Dragon, which itself is a spin-off of Far Cry 3. Bit of a six degrees of separation situation, but with spin-offs here.
According to the listing, the game is planned for PC, and gameplay apparently sees players taking part in a “laser ‘deathmatch'” where they have to compete to eliminate the most opponents. The game is also rated a 12, describing “moderate violence in which human-like characters are shot using laser guns. Reactions to being shot are unrealistic, with characters breaking into parts when hit.” It’s also sounding like it could be a free-to-play game, as there is a mention of the ability to purchase in-game items like cosmetics, but it is noted that “the game can still be played without the need to purchase such items.”
