The world of official tabletop adaptations of popular video games has grown quite a bit recently. Funforge developers have officially partnered with Ubisoft to develop a Far cry board game.

In an official press release, Funforge made the announcement. According to her, the game will be a spin-off titled Far Cry Beyond.

This means that we can speculate on the form Far cry board game will take given the talent involved. First and foremost, the source material itself. The Far cry the games have mainly been recognized as open world action titles. They usually involve a protagonist thrown into a hostile environment like the African savannah, the Himalayan mountains, or small islands remote from civilization. Gameplay involves shootouts with bandits or terrorists, hunting wild animals for food and materials used to craft upgrades, seizing fortresses, and attempting to take down a very charismatic villain overflowing with strength. raw personality. The sets range from lifelike and grounded depictions of modern terrorism and civil uprisings in prehistoric eras with the first men fighting mammoths with batons, near post-apocalyptic futures to homages to cheesy action films of the 80s soaked in neon. . As the name suggests, nothing is out of reach for a board game spinoff in this series.

It should also be noted that the publisher Ubisoft is currently the subject of serious legal proceedings by the French Union concerning serious allegations of harassment and assault by several members of their management board, while employees accuse the publisher for evading the problems they raised.

Alternatively, the work of France-based Funforge appears to be more casual. Their biggest and most notable release is the board game. Tokaido. It is essentially a road trip experience with players traveling the famous East Sea route in Japan, encountering unique experiences along the way. It’s a great example of a board game that’s more about experience than winners and losers. In addition to several physical extensions, there is even a mobile version of Tokaido for iOS and Android devices. Otherwise, Funforge has mainly been involved in the localization and distribution of board games, including Agricola and Patchwork, as well as video game adaptations like Dark Souls: The Card Game, and Bloodborne: the board game in France.
