It looks like Far Cry 5 has been announced

In a sort of unceremonious twitter post, it looks like Far Cry 5 has been announced by Ubisoft.

It wasn't too long ago that Ubisoft said both Far Cry and Assassin's Creed were on hold for the foreseeable future, but evidently that has changed, as there is an Assassin's Creed game in the works as well.

No word on what the setting will be for Far Cry 5, though there were rumors circulating that it could be in the American West. That could be interesting, but what endangered animals could we murder for a backpack there?
