With the release of Far Cry 3 a few weeks away, Ubisoft have announced a map and texture pack for Minecraft inspired by the Far Cry universe.

Due for release on PC on the 26th October, the pack allows users to explore and survive the Minecraft experience through the warped lens of Far Cry 3, with modifications to all aspects of the original game, including environments, weapons and tools.

You’ll be able to discover key Far Cry 3 locations and characters, including Vaas, Jason and Citra, all completely redesigned in Minecraft style. The map also features over 50 Easter Eggs hidden throughout the Islands.

With the map modded by Michael Lambert (Sacr3, creator of Newcraft City), a well-known Minecraft enthusiast, and artists Axel Janssen and Yohann Delcourt responsible for the textures, the Far Cry 3 inspired pack will be released for free on PC via the Far Cry official website.

Far Cry 3 is due out November 30th in the UK and December 4th in the US for all major platforms.
