FULL STORY

The source code from the original Far Cry game has leaked online. 

The game files were recently uploaded to the internet archive, archive.org. 
Since then, PC gamers have been downloading the .zip and attempting to get 
the acclaimed shooter up and running. No one's entirely sure why the game was 
uploaded at this point or why. Out of nowhere, the full source code of Far 
Cry 1 just dropped on the Internet Archive pic.twitter.com/agRMPHLT6o June

Some say some key files are missing  "it doesn't appear to be a complete 
application [...] just a portion, a few exes but no Xbox code or game assets, 
and the code itself won't compile without a large number of errors", 
according to one person  but others insist that the game does compile and run 
with a little additional work and building the binaries using Visual Studio 
2003. 

"It compiles actually, I've seen people successfully building the binaries," 
replied Vinicius Medeiros, who broke the leak on Twitter (thanks, MXDWN.com 
). "The person that said about the errors just hasn't configured right, and 
about the assets  you can just take them from the full game." 

The latest instalment in the Far Cry universe is Far Cry 6, a game we called 
"the latest and quite possibly the greatest in Ubisofts long-running 
open-world shooter series". 

"The island of Yara is a beautiful, dangerous place to explore, loaded with 
secrets and objectives that are actually worth hunting down this time," we 
said in our Far Cry 6 review , in which we awarded the game four out of five 
stars. 

"Far Cry 6 doesnt exactly reinvent the wheel of the long-running series," we 
said at the time. "What it does do, however, is present Far Crys open-world 
gameplay loop in a manner more fun and accessible than ever before. Side 
objectives are plentiful but dont suffocate the map or overwhelm the player 
in their volume. Instead, you get a reasonable sense of progression as you 
take back territory across Yara." 

Did you hear that Far Cry 7 might take Ubisofts popular series in a totally 
new direction by leaning into a more online-oriented approach?
