Far Cry 4 will feature a 5v5 multiplayer mode called Battles of Kyrat in which two factions battle with very different skill sets.
Battles take on the form of a long-lost war that Pagan Min’s elite guard, the Rakshasa, fought against the Golden Path rebellion.
The Rakshasa are the mythical warriors of Kyrat with strong ties to their natural surroundings. They can call upon animals to help in both defending and attacking positions. The Rakshasa only use traditional weapons, specifically the bow, but are capable of crafting multiple alterations to their weapons.
The Golden Path is all about its arsenal: guns, vehicles and tech-enhanced capabilities. They have access to a variety of weapon types, including assault rifles, shotguns, and multiple explosives. Finally, the Golden Path has access to bell towers, allowing them to spot the hidden enemy from far away.
10 maps will be available at launch alongside three game modes, with matches lasting around 20 minutes.
Outpost – the Golden Path works to establish an outpost in the region while the Rakshasa has to get rid of them and secure the outpost for Pagan Min.
Propaganda – the Golden Path has to destroy three Pagan Min installations while the Rakshasa protects them.
Demon Mask – both sides have to find the mask and return it to their home base.
Far Cry 4 launches November 18 for PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
