KING OF THE STONE AGE


          Far Cry Primal is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed and published by Ubisoft. It is set to be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 23, 2016, and Microsoft Windows on March 1, 2016. The game is set in the Stone Age, and revolves around the story of Takkar, who starts off as an unarmed hunter and rises to become the leader of a tribe.


                                               


Language

           
          The characters speak a fictional language with a defined syntax and structure. It is based on Proto-Indo-European,which is the common ancestor of most modern European languages. Linguists constructed three dialects - Wenja, Udam and Izila - one for each of the three featured tribes. Each dialect was designed to have a distinct sound conveying the culture of its tribe. Lead writer Kevin Shortt said that players will begin to understand Wenja vocabulary, and finish the game with "a real sense of it".  




Development


           The game's development is led by Ubisoft Montreal, with assistance provided by Ubisoft TorontoUbisoft Kiev and Ubisoft Shanghai. When asked about whether Far Cry 4would feature standalone content like Far Cry 3 with Blood Dragon, creative director Alex Hutchinson declared that a sequel to the game would not be happening, but they are planning something that can "surprise" players. On January 5, 2015, Ubisoft released a survey and asked players about their favorite Far Cry setting. The survey includes themes like vampires, zombies, dinosaurs, a post-apocalyptic world, historical warfare and modern days locations like Peru and Alaska.
             It was first added to the Steam database under its codename Far Cry Sigma on October 2, 2015, causing major confusion for both fans and press. However, on October 6, 2015, Ubisoft held a stream revealing their next project.It was announced a day later, though it was leaked by IGN Turkey several hours before the official announcement.The game's creative director is Jean-Christophe Guyot, who has worked on several Prince of Persia games. On December 3, 2015, creative director Maxime Béland stated thatFar Cry Primal will be as big as Far Cry 4. The game will not feature a multiplayer mode. The decision was made during the early stages of the game's development as they wanted to focus on the game's core gameplay instead.
              Far Cry Primal is set to be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 23, 2016.The Microsoft Windows version is set to be launched shortly afterwards on March 1, 2016.The game has two different special editions, both of which cost more than the base game. The Collector’s Edition features additional physical items such as a steelbook, a collector's book, a map of Oros, the game's original soundtrack and a Wenja phrasebook, which serves as a guide for players to learn the language used in the game. The Digital Apex Edition, which can only be purchased digitally, and the Collector's Edition contain digital content such as extra in-game missions, weapons and additional packs.
