Ubisoft announced the development of Far Cry 2, the sequel to the original Far Cry game.
The conflict between two major factions, the UFLL (United Front for Liberation and Labour) and the APR (Armée Populaire de Libération), escalates across an unnamed African country.
Both factions hire international mercenaries to gain advantage in the ongoing civil war, increasing violence and chaos in the region.
The Jackal, a mercenary known for selling weapons, is sent undercover to track down the elusive arms dealer known as The Jackal (the player's mission protagonist).
The player's helicopter is shot down over the war-torn country, forcing a solo survival and navigation through hostile territory.
Player interacts with both the UFLL and APR factions, accepting missions and earning trust while navigating the dangerous environment.
Continuous missions lead the player closer to finding the elusive Jackal, believed responsible for much of the conflict due to arms trafficking.
Targeted killings of key faction leaders and warlords destabilize both factions, shifting power balances within the region.
Player locates and confronts The Jackal after a climactic mission, aiming to end the arms trade fueling the conflict.
Despite the player's efforts, the civil war continues as chaotic factions keep fighting in the devastated country.
