The Far Cry saga, owned by Ubisoft, has become a series much loved by various gamers around the planet, which not only has multiple installments in its history, but also contains some curiosities that are worth remembering in the context of its 20th anniversary. Originally, Far Cry was developed to showcase the potential of the CryEngine, seeking to showcase environments set with dinosaurs and abundant vegetation.

The adaptation of Far Cry to the big screen was regrettable, since Uwe Boll was in charge of a mediocre production that was not well received by both critics and commercially, evidencing the great challenge of merging video games with cinema. Despite some ups and downs, the Far Cry universe has managed to position itself in the market and is capable of offering a large number of hours of fun in digital entertainment that lasts for a while and in parallel, it has also been expanding to the world of comics. , where he seeks to make his first steps.
