Despite being first prepped for launch on the PC solely it seems Ubisoft have had a change of heart and are now looking to be releasing an Xbox 360 and PS3 port of the game also, however no word on a simultaneous launch on all platforms.

Today Ubisoft officially announced that the game was coming to Xbox 360 and that a Playstation 3 version was also in the works

The original Far Cry shooter was a Far Cry from the harsh African wasteland that the game now revolves. Originally developed by the Crytec, the game was set in the tropics, with ravenous monsters hunting you down and one lead character, now the game is in the hands of Ubisoft Montreal studios, after Crytec left to partner with Electronic Arts to develop and spin-off of the game, now known as Crysis, the Ubi' team have built the engine for Far Cry 2 from the ground up in order to fully utilize newer technologies and produce as close to life-like physics as possible. The story also takes a twist on the original, involving 12 unique characters who all have one goal, to assassinate an international arms dealer

The first person shooter promises stunning graphics, breathtaking settings and fast-paced action, which the average humble PC will not suffice to produce. With the news of the game heading to consoles, this may bring hope to gamers who - otherwise - would end up missing out on great game.

With other games like Tom Clancy's End Was and Brothers in arms: Hell's Highway hogging up the office space, Far Cry 2's release has sadly been bumped backwards towards Ubisoft's Fiscal Period between April 2008 and March 2009.
