10 Facts About Far Cry

The first game, Far Cry, was developed by Crytek to premiere their CryEngine software, and released in March 2004.

The Far Cry games have generally been well-received for their open world gameplay despite their stories receiving mixed reviews and are considered commercial successes.

Main Far Cry games are first-person shooters with action-adventure elements.

Part of the reason the narrative from Far Cry was dropped was that its main character Jack Carver was not memorable with players, and that the ending of the game, particularly with the changes made for Instincts and Vengeance, took a significant turn into science fiction, something that the developers wanted to avoid with Far Cry 2.
