After the success of Far Cry 3, it should come as no surprise to learn Ubisoft will return to the franchise once more with Far Cry 4.

Speaking with Gamespot, Ubisoft senior vice president of marketing and sales Tony Key revealed the company's plans to continue supporting the brand with another entry shortly. "We’re totally psyched from [Far Cry 3]. It’s a great brand, and now it’s got the recognition it deserves, so we’re clearly going to make another one: more on that soon," Key said.

Sure, Key didn't offer much in the way of pertinent details, such as whether or not Far Cry 4 would be a direct continuation or an entirely different game, but he did express Ubisoft's enthusiasm for open-world titles. "I think open world can represent the future of, you know, gaming, and that’s where we’re investing huge portions of our resources--because we believe that that is what consumers want," Key added.

It'll likely be some time until we learn more about Far Cry 4, but at least we now know there'll be another one coming.
