'Far Cry Primal' (ALL) Wenja Pack Adds Pre-Order Bonus Content

by Rainier on March 21, 2016 @ 9:22 a.m. PDT

Far Cry Primal is a full-fledged single player experience that will take gamers to 10,000 BC in history to a time when massive beasts like the woolly mammoth and sabretooth tiger ruled the Earth.

Far Cry stormed the tropics and climbed the Himalayas now brings its innovative open world sandbox gameplay to a time when humans were not at the top of the food chain but were fighting to climb it, bringing together massive beasts, breathtaking environments and unpredictable savage encounters.

Gamers play as TAKKAR, a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of his hunting group. Arriving in the majestic and savage land of Oros, players will pursue one single goal; survive in a world where humans are the prey. They will meet a cast of memorable characters who will help them push back and tame the dangers of the wild. Players will journey as the first human to tame the wilderness and rise above extinction.  Along the way, they will have to hunt for food, master fire, fend off fierce predators, craft weapons and tools partly from the bones of slain beasts and face off against other tribes to conquer Oros.

Did you miss the window for getting your hands on the preorder bonuses for Far Cry Primal? If you’d still like to stomp around as a mammoth in three new missions and get a running start with extra items, you can grab it all starting on March 22 with the Wenja Pack. Available for $6.99, the Wenja Pack includes the three add-on Legend of the Mammoth missions – which put you in control of a mammoth out to defend its herd – as well as Ull’s powerful Bone Shasti Club and four enhancement packs filled with perks and new skins for the wild animals of Oros.

The add-on packs include the Sabretooth Pack, which gives players early access to animal hides for crafting while also changing some of the sabretooth tiger population into Flame Fang sabretooths; the Owl Pack, which gives your owl friend dark and stormy feathers, while also including Wenja tribal paint to give Takkar’s arms a new look and early access to crafting resources; The Mammoth Pack, which changes some of the game’s mammoths into Ash Back mammoths, while also granting an endurance-boosting recipe; and the Bomb Pack, which offers two extra sting bombs to give you an edge early in the game.

Key Features:

  • You will play as Takkar, a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of your group. You have one goal: survival in a world where you are the prey.
    • Grow your tribe and hone your skills to lead your people.
    • Encounter a cast of memorable characters who can help push back the dangers of the wild.
    • Face enemy tribes who will do anything to eradicate you and your allies.
    • Defeat predators and humans, and rise to become the apex predator.
  • This isn’t the Stone Age you thought you knew. This is the Stone Age with irreverence and mayhem. This is the Stone Age by Far Cry.
    • Stalk enemy outposts and plan your attack using weapons and tools crafted from the bones of beasts you’ve killed.
    • Master fire to expand your tactical options, setting your weapon on fire or scaring predators at night.
    • Land the killing blow on the prey you've chased across the plains. But beware, its scent may attract predators willing to fight you for the prize.
    • The rich setting of the Stone Age only multiplies the amount of deadly weapons, dangerous threats, and incredible stories that Far Cry is known for.
  • After the last Ice Age, the glaciers retreated to leave behind a land blooming with nature and resources where humans and animals alike can thrive – provided they have what it takes to prove their dominance.
    • Discover the majestic and savage land of Oros with its breathtaking valley of redwood forests, harsh taiga, and humid swamps where you can see Earth as it was before man laid claim to it.
    • Oros teems with life from large herds of deer and vicious packs of dire-wolves to warring enemy tribes. It is ruled by megafauna such as sabretooth tigers and woolly mammoths, giant animals that dominated the Earth in the Stone Age and were feared by every other living being.
  • Play as the first human to tame wild beasts and use them to conquer Oros.
    • Tame any of the predators you come across and call upon them whenever you need. Your first companion, an owl, is your eyes in the sky.
    • Each predator has unique abilities – for instance: wolves warn you of nearby danger, sabretooth tigers gather resources after kills, jaguars launch deadly stealth attacks, and bears destroy anything standing in their way.
    • Travel faster by riding some of the larger beasts you tame, including sabretooth tigers and mammoths.
