Earlier brought along a fine example of why you shouldn’t really believe everything that you see on the Internet…

Far Cry 4 was announced last week by Ubisoft so they could begin the ball rolling on hype for the game before E3 came along and the game’s announcement potentially got swallowed up amongst the other news that would be coming out of that event. Set in a region of the Himalayas called Kyrat, a place of breathtaking scenery and wildlife under the rule of a tyranical self-appointed king, players were going to have to use their wits and whatever they could to get through the game.

So when a trailer surfaced this morning, claiming to be Far Cry 4’s first trailer and showing a fly-over of mountains surrounded by blizzard which ended with the camera supposedly flying into the mountain before showing the game’s title, some certainly thought that it was Ubisoft releasing a little more information to follow up on the announcement of the game last week.

However that wasn’t the case. First the trailer got taken down from Youtube by their copyright infringement system, and then a little research proved that the trailer was a fake, the footage ripped from a BBC advertisement for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. What a shame.

What we do know for sure though is that Far Cry 4 is due out on November 21^st. So we should be getting some real trailers online soon.
