"Far Cry 5" is about to be released in a few months, and it looks like it would not be suffering any delay like other games. A video was recently released that talked about a good deal of gameplay that players can expect to see in the game.

The video containing the gameplay footage was shared and discussed by game's creative director Dan Hay and associate producer Philippe Fournier. Hay started off by saying that there are a lot of characters in the game. "In previous Far Crys, I think we had about 18 to 20-ish characters that you meet," said Hay.

"And just on the premiere side of thing, we're over 65." He even further mentioned that the whole Hope County will have a lot more people. Interestingly enough, all of them will have a certain role in the game. They will either help the player to progress through the story or slow the player down. They even have their own jobs, names, and lives.

Fournier, on the other hand, talked about the co-op mode of the game. For the most part, it generally is the same as previous "Far Cry"s. He specifically talked about how one can traverse the whole area on a truck with 70's tunes on the radio while someone else can be travelling above in a helicopter.

Of course, with a "Far Cry" game, there will also be wildlife creatures that players will expect to see. The video features dogs, ostriches, bears, wolverines, but fans expect more to be unveiled when the game is released.

"Far Cry 5" is set to be released in two months on March 27, 2018 for the Xbox One, PS4. and PC. A Switch version has yet to be announced, if ever there is one.
