Far Cry 1 Source Code Hits the Web

The web has unexpectedly seen the source code of Far Cry, a 2004 first-person shooter developed by Crytek.

1. The files were uploaded to Archive.org. They contain only the source code itself, without the game's graphics and music elements.
2. For the casual gamer, these files will not be very useful. Instead, they should prove to be of great interest to other developers, as well as mod maker, who will thus be able to develop more impressive fan projects.

Recall that Far Cry was released in March 2004 on PC. It was the only installment of the series developed by Crytek. The ideas contained in it were later developed by the team in the Crysis series.

However, the Far Cry brand itself was taken over by Ubisoft. First its Montreal branch developed heavily reworked ports of the first part in the form of various versions of Far Cry Instincts, available exclusively on consoles, and then in 2008 the studio release Far Cry 2, which took the brand into the open world and offered a style of gameplay that remains the foundation of subsequent installments to this day.
