[Update] Added the debut trailer for Far Cry 3. [End of Update]

The Far Cry series of first-person shooters has a very strange heritage, beginning life as an exciting jungle-based action game with open mission paths and clever AI (created by Crytek) before being run into the ground with a multitude of console ports and spin-offs, courtesy of Ubisoft.

In 2009, and after claiming the license, Ubisoft released Far Cry 2, a critical and commercial success with an altogether different take on the franchise but with a similar theme insofar as you could approach objectives in a variety of interesting ways, with new tools at your disposal thanks to newer technology.

Now at E3 2011, Ubisoft has confirmed rumours by formally announcing that that Far Cry 3 is in development, and is scheduled for a multiplatform release in 2012.
