Far Cry 4 trailer tells you everything you need to know

Ubisoft has released an eight-minute Far Cry 4 trailer giving you the lowdown on everything you need to know about the latest installment in the series.

Set in the towering Himalayas in an area called Kyrat, players will take control of Ajay Ghale, a man on a mission to fulfill his mother's dying wish.

Things quickly take a turn for the worse, however, as Ajay gets caught up in a civil war surrounding dictator Pagan Min.

The trailer goes through the game's location, weapons, skills, vehicles and more. Watch it below.

Wildlife was a key part of the last Far Cry game and that theme will continue here. Earlier this year we spoke at length with one of the lead developers on Far Cry 4, who told us he was hoping his game would avoid controversy from PETA this year. Read his thoughts through here.

Far Cry 4 launches 18 November.
