FAR CRY® 5: DEAD LIVING ZOMBIES LAUNCHES AUGUST 28
Sydney, Australia — August 20, 2018 — Today, Ubisoft announced that Far Cry® 5: Dead Living Zombies, the third post-launch adventure, will release August 28 for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Windows PC. Guy Marvel, legendary film director from Far Cry® 5, is back with over-the-top zombie experiences that will be playable across seven unique maps.
Far Cry 5: Dead Living Zombies pairs players with D-tier film director Guy Marvel as he pitches his vision for an epic zombie saga. On maps built from the powerful Far Cry Arcade Editor, players will explore seven different film scenarios as they face hordes of the undead across rooftops, farmlands, military bases and more. After completing each map, players can unlock Score Attack to achieve 3-star ratings, which will unlock weapons and gear to bring back to Hope County.
All Far Cry players will receive additional tools in Far Cry Arcade that unlock even more potential for map builders, including scripting tools and destructible objects. These additions will be available to players along with more new assets in our next update, Title Update 10.
The post-launch of Far Cry 5 includes three unique adventures – Hours of Darkness, Lost on Mars and Dead Living Zombies – giving players the opportunity to explore beyond Hope County. All Far Cry 5 owners also have a diverse selection of assets in Far Cry Arcade, allowing them to customize the Far Cry experience. The adventures are available in the season pass or as add-on content, while all asset releases for Far Cry Arcade will be available for free to all players.
Set in the United States, a first for the franchise, Far Cry 5 offers players total freedom to navigate a serene-looking yet deeply twisted world as the new junior deputy of fictional Hope County, Montana. Players will find that their arrival accelerates a years-long silent coup by a fanatical doomsday cult, the Project at Eden’s Gate, igniting a violent takeover of the county. Under siege and cut off from the rest of the world, players will join forces with residents of Hope County and form the Resistance. Far Cry 5 will continue to receive premium adventures available in the season pass, as well as free content, including new Far Cry Arcade assets and in-game live events following the launch.

Story
This may sound overly complicated, but it really isn’t. Fire Pro Wrestling World is the same Fire Pro experience we have come to know for decades now, and is a blast to play once you get over the learning curve. No other wrestling title on modern platforms will let you simulate the product to such a realistic degree, and that is what has made this franchise such a beloved mainstay when it comes to wrestling video games in general. This title also has a brain. Every single CPU can be modified in terms of AI. This means that if you want to make an AJ Styles that only goes for submissions, you can do it. If you want a weak wrestler that can only perform dancing taunts and silly moves, well – you can do that too. Fire Pro allows for customization on almost anything within the experience, and the ability to tweak the AI makes simply having CPU creations fight each other a true draw of the game.
There are a couple of things within this console version I should address. First, this game at is current state crashes, a lot. I applaud the mirrored ability to transfer edits from PC to PS4 by simply transferring over a wrestler, part for part. I however dislike that the game crashed on me six times while making one edit and has some long load times overall. Sometimes, the slowdown in menus while finding a wrestler or a selection could also equate in a crash. To myself, this is a big issue. The game is so great and it seems to be just a patch or two away from perfection, but I definitely can say frustration was had during my time with the Playstation 4 version. If I had not already spent 150+ hours with the PC kin, I definitely would not have continued to persist to see the great product underneath what should be such an easy fix, once patched.
The music is also well done. With some new tunes and effects sprinkled in, Spike did a lovely job with the audio for this port, as the toe-tapping theme music will surely get you in the mood to lose days and even weeks creating edits with no end in sight. While there definitely could be more fake themes to capture even more likenesses of major Superstars, I think everything is just fine within, as most should be pleased with the variety offered.
