3. Pirate Era

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag was a fantastic game that threw players into an authentic pirate adventure, offering the chance to sail, engage enemy vessels, board ships, and customise your own unique vehicle. Swords, cannons, and familiar pirate-themed clothing all helped to make players feel as if they were living out their childhood fantasies right on their console.

A Far Cry game set in the age of pirates offers a chance to create similar thrills in a first-person adventure. Ubisoft may borrow sea-faring elements from Black Flag, perhaps with players sailing from one island to another in search of treasure or prisoners.

Ship-to-ship combat unfolds in a similar way, but with more visceral action: players may be forced to fire cannons, aid wounded shipmates, and board enemy boats to engage in combat. Of course, swords play a major part in the fighting, with a huge variety of blades available. Muskets feature heavily too, but are slow-loading and demand careful aim.

These new elements would bring innovative qualities not just to Far Cry, but to the first-person-shooter genre itself. Multiplayer might work best by pitting players against each other to find treasure destroy enemy ships first.
