The Far Cry Primal trailer above was released to email subscribers earlier tonight. Dubbed the “Takkar Trailer”, this story trailer does not disappoint.
After nearly two minutes of non-stop action – mostly killing – we can glean that the game will be absolutely brutal. In the first few frames, the player is drinking from a concoction of eyeballs and other nastiness, given by what seems to be a mystical shaman.
Far Cry Primal is the first game in the series to drop out of the modern age, taking on a pre-historic setting instead. The game will have players lead their tribe through the savagery of the land “of epic beauty”, battling the evil Udam tribe lead by a monstrous man by the name of Ull. It is unclear if Ull will be the major enemy in the game or if he will be a misdirect like [SPOILER] Vaas in Far Cry 3.
After Ull threatens to feed us to his cannibal tribe, we see a host of quick clips. Sabertooth cats eating people alive, a middle-aged woman screaming into the night, a roaming tribe (presumably the player’s), some ritualistic images featuring the shaman, other interestingly dressed characters, and more.
A more in-depth trailer breakdown will be posted on GameSkinny very soon, but for now we know: this isn’t your grandma’s Far Cry.
