Traditionally, the Far Cry games haven't had anything to connect them narratively. Instead, they are thematic sequels, sharing the same characteristics of exotic environments, a place that needs liberating, and lots of explosive action. This looks set to change with Far Cry 4, although the extent of this is unknown. Fan favourite Hurk will be featured in the fourth game, with his harpoon gun 'The Impaler' and all. Hurk is available to players that preorder the game in a series of levels in which the player saves him from imprisonment, although he is also set to appear in the main campaign. Whether this will just be a crowd-pleasing cameo or the start of something deeper is yet to be seen.
