Ubisoft’s latest FPS Far Cry 2 has passed the one million sales mark in less than three weeks.

“The holiday quarter is off to a solid start with the successful launch of Far Cry 2,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “The game is well on track to achieve our expectations for the year.”

Ubisoft has announced that Far Cry 2 will be released across Europe on the 24th of October. The game will be available on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Ubisoft also revealed a Far Cry 2 Collector’s Edition for the EMEA territories that will come packed in a wooden box. It will include a copy of the game, a limited edition Far Cry 2 T-shirt as well as an art book, map and making-of DVD. You can pre-order the collector’s edition at Game.

The environments are pretty dynamic as well, letting players take advantage of the wind to spread fire through dry brush and using the vast terrain to outsmart enemies.

Here are some screenshots to give you an idea of how good it looks on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, releasing either late this year or early next year.
