Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Coming to XBLA?

Far Cry 3

Written Thursday, March 07, 2013 By Lee Bradley

Ubisoft is prepping the release of something called Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, according to a recently filed classification.

Listed by the Brazilian video game classification board as a first person shooter, the game is detailed as a PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release.

Following the revelation, some artwork was discovered that suggests an XBLA release. It has a neon, old-school, and very distinct style, quite different from that of Far Cry 3 itself. You can see it below.

While the legitimacy of the image is not certain, it does tie in with something Far Cry 3 lead writer Jeffrey Yohalem told Joystiq recently.

"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,” he said.

So that’s all we know. Consider us intrigued.

	I'd rather have the co-op dlc that was already released on PS3.

	This looks and sounds too bizarre to be fake.

	If it's a classic-style, SEGA Genesis graphic side-scrolling shooter/platformer, then sign me the hell up. Otherwise, or if fake, "Oh... okay"

	A side scrolling game where the whole point is to run from a family of Komodo Dragons.

	@4 The game actually went through the classification board... how could it be fake? The artwork maybe, but the game clearly isnt. Do people even read the articles these days?

	Looks about as fake as Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag...but yeah, this looks particularly naff.

	@ 7 + 8 The article actually states (in line three) that it´s going to be a First Person Shooter, not a side scrolling platformer or a jump´n´run or a bowling simulation.
