Ubisoft announced Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars today, a new downloadable adventure that takes the series to the red planet.
Far Cry 5, which launched on March 27 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, is the fastest-selling installment in Ubisoft’s first-person shooter open-world franchis, which debuted in 2004. It takes place in Montana and has players fighting a cult. Postrelease content like this gives Ubisoft a way to keep monetizing the game and boost player engagement.

It took players to Vietnam. Players get both that, this new campaign, and a zombie-themed adventure in August if they buy the $30 season pass. You can also buy Lost on Mars separately for $10.
On Mars, players will have access to new weapons (including blasters) and space jets. And you’ll be fighting bug-like Martians.
Past Far Cry games have had unique settings. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (a standalone expansion) has an ’80s inspired futuristic world. Far Cry Primal, a nonnumbered entry in the series, features caveman in a prehistoric world.
