Far Cry 4 will be set in the Himalayas and released in the first half of 2015, according to reports.

Eurogamer has heard from sources familiar with the project that the series will have a dramatic change of scenery from the usual tropical locations.

The mountain range setting gives the developers the chance to introduce some new features, such as the ability to ride elephants.

Apparently the gameplay will be similar to Far Cry 3, where you can hunt the local wildlife and liberate outposts dotted around the world map.

As yet there's no clue as to whether this will be a next-gen only game or whether it will also launch on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Ubisoft is keeping quiet for now, but the first official look at Far Cry 4 should be at the publisher's annual press conference at E3 this June.

This is the second time in a week that details of an unannounced Ubisoft game have leaked, with screenshots of the next Assassin's Creed game surfacing a few days ago.
