Ubisoft's "Far Cry 4" has revealed the face of their new protagonist, Kyrati native Ajay Ghale.
Little is know about Ghale's storyline, but the title's villain Pagan Min is making the headlines. According to Ubisoft, Min is oddly charming and elegant despite being a vile character.
"It's this weird, uncomfortable refined elegance," Narrative Director Mark Thompson explained to Ubisoft's blog. "The things that he's doing and the subjects that he's talking about contrast with the style that he does it in."
"When he looks at Ajay and makes eye contact and he tells you that he'd recognize those eyes anywhere, it's one of those moments where the hairs on the back of your neck raise up," Thompson said later in the interview, referring to the "Far Cry 4" teaser trailer. "You're like, Holy f-king sh-t. How does this guy know me? What's he going to do with my eyes? Why don't the guys with these guns stop him doing whatever he's doing? He must powerful and he must be important."
Min is referred to as the opposite of the animalistic Vaas in "Far Cry 3." Min is someone who wants to come out on top and survive the game. Even if you out live Min's twisted games, your survival could make you just like the villain.
"When you're in Vaas' company, you have a 99 percent chance that it's going to end poorly," Executive Producer Dan Hay told Ubisoft's blog. "With Pagan Min, he genuinely wants to play. So you know that he can kill you like that. But you've got a pretty good chance of maybe being the plaything long enough to survive and get out and then do your own thing. The question is: What does that say about you?"
"Far Cry 4" will be released to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC on Nov. 18.
