- Pre-orders receive the Limited Edition at no extra cost, with three extra single-player missions and Hurk's harpoon gun[1][2][3]
- Executive Producer Dan Hay said the team wanted to take the franchise to the next level after Far Cry 3; a gameplay premiere was set for 9 June, alongside E3[1]

Notable features
- The open-world game is set in Kyrat, a Himalayan region ruled by a despotic self-appointed king, with wildlife, crafting, weapons and vehicles[1][3]
- It is a first-person shooter on the Dunia 2 engine in which Kyrati-American Ajay Ghale is caught in a civil war between king Pagan Min's Royal Army and the rebel Golden Path, with a branching storyline and side quests[2]
- Players can ride elephants as tank-like weapons, fly a small autogyro called the Buzzer, and cross cliffs with wingsuits and grappling hooks; Shangri-La segments put them alongside a commandable tiger companion[2]
- The map opens up as players liberate bell towers and Pagan Min's outposts and four fortresses, and karma earned helping the rebels brings trading-post discounts and Golden Path back-up[2]
- Guns for Hire is two-player co-op across the open world, Battles of Kyrat pits bow-armed Rakshasa against gun-armed Golden Path players in three asymmetric modes, and a Map Editor lets players build and share maps[2]
