Far Cry 4 – Vice Dev Diary & Quest for Everest
First the dev team headed to the Himalayas. And now you can too, thanks to a spectacular contest that offers one winner the chance to ascend Everest to become the first person to play Far Cry 4 on the majestic mountain itself.
But before we get to the contest, take a look at this three-part video series. Working in collaboration with VICE, two members from the Far Cry 4 development team at Ubisoft Montreal traveled to Nepal to get an inside look at the region that inspired the setting for the game. The results were eye-opening: the trip not only left a lasting impression on Narrative Director Mark Thompson and Production Manager Philippe Fournier, but it literally changed the game. When they returned from Nepal, Thompson realized their Kyrat was essentially a “Disney” version of the region and they went back to the drawing board. It wasn’t just a life-changing experience, but it was a game-changer as well.
If you want to have your own life-changing experience, Ubisoft also announced the Quest for Everest contest. All you have to do is submit a video application showing us why you’re the most qualified for the trek.
