With Far Cry 2, Ubisoft managed to take the highly unattractive concept of running around in the jungle while nursing a case of malaria and make it awesome. But the game was far from perfect. Rough edges reared their ugly little heads far too often, as did every firearm-owning citizen of Africa – all of whom hated you, specifically, for no real reason. Fortunately, our utopian vision of Ubisoft’s corrupt, suicidally dangerous African state may very well see the light of day, as Far Cry 3 is officially in development.

“No I'm not," Ubisoft writer Kevin Shortt said when asked if he was working on Far Cry 3. "But I know the team are and what I've seen looks pretty exciting."

Unfortunately, Shortt patched up the leaky portion of his blabbing faucet right after that tiny tidbit – probably because a Ubisoft PR rep glared him into submission. As a result, we know nothing about the game’s setting or features, nor do we have any idea when we’ll find out more.

Which makes this whole thing kind of like ripping open our Christmas presents early. We’ve seen what’s under Ubisoft’s wrapping paper, and now we just want to play it this very second. Boy, sometimes we almost regret running down our time machine’s battery during that adventure that ultimately led to Hitler’s downfall. It’d really come in handy right now.
