Ubisoft plan to release new maps of their own onto it too, as well as holding weekly Arcade events.įolks from the Ian Games Network have played a bit, returning with videos of maps from crateyard shootyshots to labyrinthine walk-o-horror. It'll include a website listing maps, profiles, and other Steam Workship-ish doodads. Ubi are building the editor into an ecosystem they call Far Cry Arcade. When the paid DLCs are released, Ubi will roll their bits out to the editor, which might prove interesting considering the packs trip across the Vietnam War, zombie B movies, and fighting spiders on Mars.

Ubi are planning to release at least six updates bringing new objects, including bits from Far Cry 5's add-ons. It'll have over 9000 objects, which Ubisoft say is more than any other Far Cry editor. It may not be as complex as Hammer or UEd but on the bright side, it's not as complex as Hammer or UEd. As is customary for the series, Far Cry 5's map editor is a friendly-looking tool which lets players sculpt terrain then plonk prefab objects down. The editor will support creating maps for singleplayer, cooperative, and competitive play, across a number of modes. It sounds like Ubisoft are planning to make a real go of player-made maps, building around them something they call the Far Cry Arcade. I'm so up for building a Virtuaparis monster truck obstacle course.

A number of assets from Watch Dogs, Far Cry 4, the prehistoric Far Cry Primal, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (the pirate one), and Assassin's Creed Unity (the French one) will be thrown in. The Far Cry 5 map editor will include bits and pieces from other Ubisoft games, Ubi announced today, which should let players create places far beyond rural America - and the modern day.
