Ubisoft are kicking off 2015 with the launch of a brand new piece of downloadable content for their open-world first-person-shooter Far Cry 4. Dubbed “Escape from Durgesh Prison”, this new content will be available for purchase starting January 14th 2015 on Xbox consoles and PC platforms and on January 15th 2015 on PlayStation consoles.
In Escape from Durgesh Prison, Ajay and Hurk wake up after being captured, tortured and stripped of their weapons in Yuma’s prison. Thrown in the dangerous world of Kyrat without anything to defend themselves with, players will complete a series of challenges to find weapons and unlock new skills while trying to reach the extraction point to safety. Playable in single player and coop, this difficult mode will keep players running across Kyrat to complete side objectives dictated by Pagan Min to recover their lost weapons and upgrade their gear before a final stand-off with Yuma’s forces. To ramp up the challenge, when players die they must start the mission over again and use the knowledge and skills they gained during their previous run through to help them reach their extraction point successfully.
Escape from Durgesh Prison is also set to be a challenging time trial, which will see players race against the clock to score a spot on the community leaderboards.
