Far Cry 4’s Season Pass will retail for $29.99 and will include a bevy of content for players. In total, the Pass offers close to a dozen new missions, a handful of new weapons, a new multiplayer mode, and a new animal type.

Although Ubisoft hasn’t revealed release dates for their various Season Pass items, players will not themselves a Day 1 exclusive mission called The Syringe when the game hits in November. The mission can be played in both single player and co-op, and sees our hero Ajay Ghale trying to keep a recipe from falling into the hands of Pagan Min.

Other highlights of the Season Pass include a mission featuring a prison escape; the Hurk Deluxe Pack, which includes five missions and Hurk’s harpoon gun; a new multiplayer mode called Overrun; and a expansion that features Ajay exploring an icy landscape. Oh, and we should mention that the expansion also features yetis. Yes, yetis. See below for full details on each piece of Season Pass content.

All told, the Season Pass for Far Cry 4 appears to offer a solid selection of content. As someone who plowed through everything Far Cry 3 had to offer and was still hungry for more, the promise of new missions and weapons is certainly intriguing, and will likely help sustain the experience for longer.

Speaking of that experience, Ubisoft recently revealed that their approach to Far Cry 4 differs significantly from Far Cry 3. Where FC 3 was about players exploring the world through the eyes of Jason Brody, this follow-up will allow players to tell their own story.

Obviously, Ajay Ghale is still the star of the game, but he will be acting more like an avatar for players’ actions. Essentially that means Ajay won’t be a fully voiced protagonist like Jason was.

As Ubisoft also explains in a blog post, Ajay is “relatively thin” by design, and players will discover his connection to Kyrat as if it is their own backstory. With that, players will find that the NPCs in Far Cry 4 are more “nuanced” than those in the third game. Where Vaas was a bad guy through and through, Pagan Min will apparently be much harder to read.

The narrative in Far Cry 4 will also branch based on player’s choices, more so than it did in FC 3. Adding up to an experience that feels unique to each player.
