Far Cry 4’s first DLC brings permadeath to Kyrat

Ubisoft today released details of Far Cry 4‘s permadeath-inducing “Escape from Durgesh Prison” DLC.

“Ajay and Hurk wake up after being captured, tortured and stripped of their weapons in Yuma’s prison,” Ubisoft said of the DLC in a press release. “Thrown in the dangerous world of Kyrat without anything to defend themselves with, players will complete a series of challenges to find weapons and unlock new skills while trying to reach the extraction point to safety.

“Playable in single player and coop, this difficult mode will keep players running across Kyrat to complete side objectives dictated by Pagan Min to recover their lost weapons and upgrade their gear before a final stand-off with Yuma’s forces. To ramp up the challenge, when players die they must start the mission over again and use the knowledge and skills they gained during their previous run through to help them reach their extraction point successfully.”

If you don’t escape in time, you have to start the DLC over again. You read that right, folks; there aren’t any checkpoints.

The DLC will be available 14 January and can be part of the game’s “Season Pass”.
