Far Cry 3 was one of the big surprises last year. It was released in a busy holiday season, but great games will find their way to the forefront and has shipped 4.5 million copies since its December release. We gave the game a stellar 9.5 review and could not recommend it higher.

Now Ubisoft may be releasing more Far Cry sooner rather than later. In an interview with Joystiq, Far Cry 3 head writer Jeffrey Yohalem gave a bit of cryptic information that we may not be too far of from the return of last year’s best shooter.

“Yes, I’m working on something now that will be surprising, I think, when it’s announced. But it definitely is a ‘strike while the iron’s hot’ thing, and we’ll see.”

It sounds like we may be getting an add-on to Far Cry 3 unless Ubisoft has an ace up their sleeve and have already begun development of the fourth entry in the franchise.

More please.
