Two different Swedish retailers, Webhallen and the localized branch of GAME, are listing a new entry in Ubisoft's open-ended mercenary series, Far Cry 3.
"Rumours suggest this time the game will be played out in Africa but with an even larger world and with a completely updated Dunia engine," writes GAME in its brief summary of the title.
There's no other news, but the have been rumors about the sequel being in production, which this retail listing would appear to back up. Given the relative success of Far Cry 2, it seems a given that Far Cry 3 is a real thing that's happening, but we'll have to sit tight until the official announcement.

Otherwise I definatelt want this.
He's too busy writing the rich, deep and meaningful story for a Borderlands sequel. Seriously.
@alphaJC
I don't know, the monsters were the low point for me, I just wish they'd ditch the Africa setting for some Just Cause 2ish tropical island...
-Guy goes to Africa.
-Get's sick.
-Tries to chase down his target.
-When he finds him, instead of killing him, he becomes his puppet.
-The main character shoots himself or blows himself up.
-The journalist get's ignored, so whatever you did throughout the story becomes irrevelant.
Fin.
P.S.: Whatever they were smoking, i want some of it.
I'd rather take the cheesy Jack Carver then 5+ shitty ass characters that FarCry 2 offered.
Hell, if Naughty Dog could change Drake from the Uncharted series into a memorable, likable character, I think Crytek could do the same for Jack Carver.
As long as they ACTUALLY hire decent writers, why the hell not?
P.S Why is there no "edit" function in this website? To prevent "edit" integrity?
I still have nightmares about that game.
They only should change:
+pretadors
+repairing vehicles should be a qt event
-respawning checkpoints
Also every single character in the game sounded as if the recorded dialogue was being played back at 1.5x speed or something. It just sounded off.
what he says: http://drgamelove.blogspot.com/2009/12/permanent-death-complete-saga.html
- The level of annoying micro-management with a health system, medication for illness, gun repair, etc. Too much to monitor.
- The abysmal checkpoint system can send you back 20+ minutes for small mistakes on missions stifling player experimentation
- Lazy A.I. design by having them have hyper accurate aim, be bullet sponges, and respawning too frequently. Driving around the map becomes an utter chore when you constantly have to get out of your vehicle and shoot idiotic A.I.
- Shooting and aiming mechanics are terrible. Everything feels way too loose and inaccurate...
FC2 is just a complete, utter chore to play. No fun.
