Far Cry: The Wild Expedition is an anthology coming out on the most romantic day of the year
Comments1
Romance is stabbing a tiger in the face and skinning it to make a fashionable bag. It's stalking an enemy, silently, and then shooting it in the head. It's parachuting off a huge mountain, landing in an enemy base and then burning everyone with a flamethrower.
So I can't think of a better day than Valentines Day, February 14th, for Far Cry: The Wild Expedition, collecting Far Cry 1 to 3 and Blood Dragon, to launch.
