NARRATOR: 17 years after
a nuclear apocalypse,
0:07
the Polk County of
Far Cry New Dawn
0:08
is nothing like you remembered.
0:10
The landscape has been
twisted and reshaped
0:13
by fire and radiation.
0:14
The resulting super
bloom has filled it
0:16
with brilliantly colorful
plants and biting wildlife.
0:19
And a rampaging
legion of scavengers
0:21
known as the Highwaymen have
set up ramshackle outposts
0:25
And Far Cry New Dawn's changes
run much deeper than that,
0:28
affecting everything
from how weapons
0:30
work to how you get around
in this brave new world.
0:36
In addition to Hope
County survivors,
0:38
there's a ray of hope lighting
up the post apocalypse,
0:40
and his name is Rush.
0:42
Rush and his band travel
across the country looking
0:45
to help settlements
get back on their feet,
0:47
and you're his
captain of security
0:49
until you arrive in Hope
County, and get ambushed
0:51
by the Highwaymen,
an army of live
0:53
for today bandits led by
twin sisters, Mickey and Lou.
0:56
You-- you made us look weak.
1:01
NARRATOR: From
there, your main goal
1:03
is to regroup build up your
home base at prosperity
1:06
a fortified settlement
of Hope County survivors,
1:09
and make life as difficult for
the Highwaymen as possible.
1:12
You're free to wander and
pursue missions however
1:17
Specialists, guns for
hire, and things for hire
1:19
are scattered across
the map, including
1:21
familiar faces like Grace
Armstrong and Nick Rye.
1:25
Capable new
gunslingers like Nana.
1:27
And ferocious loyal
animal friends
1:29
like Timber and Horatio.
1:32
They all need your
help, and if you
1:34
do them a solid like finding
grace's stolen saw launcher
1:37
prototype in a fortified
train yard for example,
1:39
or rescuing a
friendly pig/living
1:42
battering ram from
slaughter, they'll
1:44
repay the favor by
joining your cause.
1:46
Guns and things for hire
can use their abilities
1:48
to help you in battle
and pull you out
1:50
of danger, while
specialists will
1:52
lend their skills to your
growing settlement, letting you
1:54
upgrade prosperity facilities
to craft a better gear, unlock
1:58
new fast travel options,
including airdrops,
2:01
and leave Hope County
on expeditions.
2:03
Generally, more people
and animals on your side
2:05
means you'll have a
better chance of survival
2:07
out in the unforgiving
wilderness.
2:09
As well as more
furry faces to pet.
2:15
Good-- good tusk monster.
2:19
Speaking of survival, you
might encounter enemies
2:21
out there who seem nearly
impervious to your bullets.
2:24
That's because weapons and
vehicles now have ranks.
2:27
And to craft better ones, you'll
need to upgrade your workbench
2:31
Not only does a Rank 2
pistol pack more punch
2:33
than even a Level 1 machine gun,
but higher rank weapons also
2:37
tend to include cool additions
like scopes, silencers,
2:40
and extra improvised
appearances.
2:42
So it's in your interest
to start building a beefier
2:44
arsenal as soon as possible.
2:49
With help from
recruited specialists
2:50
and ethanol looted
from outposts,
2:52
you'll also be able to upgrade
your selection of vehicles,
2:55
explosives, health items,
intel maps, and even
3:01
Of course, all this takes
raw crafting materials.
3:03
With a little bit of puzzling
and the occasional dancing
3:06
fish, you can scavenge these
from hidden treasure caches,
3:09
or steal them from
the Highwaymen,
3:11
either by hijacking
their convoys,
3:13
or raiding their outposts.
3:15
And if you want a chance
at greater rewards,
3:17
you have the option to scavenge
outposts, which repopulate them
3:20
with a tougher contingent
of Highwaymen, who'll
3:22
give up better rewards
when you take them out.
3:26
Not everyone you'll
meet in Hope County
3:27
is a Highwayman or a settler.
3:29
The wilderness is home to
wandering hunters and scouts
3:31
who might be willing
to trade or share
3:33
juicy info about
nearby treasure caches
3:36
or other points of interest.
3:37
They used to recruit
locals into their ranks.
3:39
NARRATOR: You'll also
be able to make contact
3:41
with the remnants of the project
at Eden's Gate, whose followers
3:44
now embrace a reclusive
back to nature philosophy,
3:46
and a mythic reverence for their
missing father, Joseph Seed.
3:50
They'll even become
allies, helping
3:52
you hunt the Highwaymen
as you work to fulfill
3:54
their strange prophecies.
3:55
And while they may have
rejected technology,
3:57
they're still
surrounded by plenty
3:59
of hallucinatory weirdness
fueled by their mind controlled
4:01
drug of choice, Bliss.
4:04
Post-apocalyptic Hope County
is filled with mystery, danger,
4:08
and explosive potential
for chaotic fun,
4:10
especially if you bring a
co-op buddy along for some road
4:14
GAME NPC: They're behind us!
4:18
NARRATOR: And Far
Cry New Dawn's action
4:20
extends far beyond the
embattled Montana setting,
4:23
with expeditions letting you
travel to beached aircraft
4:25
carriers, occupied Navajo
villages, and other completely
4:28
new self-contained
locations to locate
4:31
and steal back special
packages from the far
4:35
And make a frantic getaway
before they swarm you!
4:40
It's all coming to PS4, for
Xbox One, and PC on February 15.
