Live-action Far Cry TV series starring It's Always Sunny's Rob Mac will mimic the games' standalone format, with each season given 'a new setting following a new cast of characters'

Back in August, Ubisoft announced a live-action Far Cry TV series was coming to FX, co-created by Noah Hawley of Alien: Earth and Rob McElhenney, who now goes by Rob Mac, of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Weirdly, the announcement, which appeared on Ubisoft's own website on August 9, promptly disappeared, and Ubisoft pretty much tried to pretend it never happened.

Well, heck, I'll definitely be watching because I like shows where someone runs around shooting people in a beautiful part of the world, and there are a lot of locations to choose from: Micronesia, Central Africa, Southeast Asia, Nepal, Montana, Cuba…

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
