Despite Far Cry 2 not even being released yet, Patrick Redding, the narrative designer on the game has let slip some tiny nuggets of info with regards to the FC2’s sequel.

Man, I’m thirsty. Luckily I’ve set a lemonade stand up after the jump, where, as well as being able to buy the sweetest, most juiciest lemonade in the world, you’ll be able to read all the details that this post is meant to cover. Come over and visit, it’s only $60 a glass and the FC3 details are free!

In an interview with videogaming247 (they cover gaming news 247 days a year!), Patrick Redding confirmed that Far Cry 3 has started development and that they have “commitment to the African setting.”

On a slightly random note, Redding then said “We might find something new and compelling about the Antarctic setting that wants us to make the next game there, but honestly, we’re still at the preliminary stages.”

Why did he mention the Antarctic? Is he part of the ant infestation conspiracy that I’ve been convinced of for weeks? Have you ever thought about why it’s called the ANTarctic? The ants control it…thounsands of them, and one day they’ll take over the world using mind control and magical ant space ships. It’s true I tells ya!

Hehem. Yes, well, anyway.

Redding noted that the FC2 engine is not the reason for remaining in Africa, in fact he went as far to say that it is versatile enough to create a game in any locale. The reason for sticking is because they still have things they “want to do” with the African setting, that, presumably, weren’t done in Far Cry 2.

Finally, Redding brutally insulted jungles by saying “Let’s face it, jungle islands are probably less exciting as they were four years ago.” Too far Patrick. Too far.
