Massive Entertainment, the studio behind Far Cry 3's multiplayer mode has announced that PlayStation 3 gamers will be getting some exclusive DLC for the open-world shooter.
The expansion is called "High Tides" and will add new content to the game's co-op campaign when it release early next year. The add-on will take place after the original chapters of the co-op mode.
Here is the official announcement that was posted on the PlayStation Blog:
"Hey, gamers! The studio that brought you Far Cry 3's online experience is preparing something big to kick off the new year: the co-op DLC pack, High Tides, exclusively on PS3 for console gamers. This January, we're releasing two entirely new co-op chapters, Jailbreak and Redemption. These new chapters feature the culmination of all the hard work we've put into the main co-op campaign. They're truly the best of the best.
High Tides will take place where the original six co-op chapters left off. These are the gang's final moments, and we're really challenging ourselves to go all-out. We've got new missions, tougher fights, bigger competitions, some great up-close time with your favorite characters, and explosive moments unlike anything you've seen before. Can you tell we're excited?
We want everyone who loves Far Cry 3's co-op to get even more quality time with the whole gang - Leonard, Tisha, Mikhail and Callum. So pick up your copy of Far Cry 3 for PS3 today, and find out in January what happens when the gang tries to escape the island in these final chapters."
This is the latest triple-A title from Ubisoft to get PlayStation 3 exclusive content. Earlier this fall, it was announced that Assassin's Creed III would receive exclusive access to Benedict Arnold DLC missions. The downloadable content follows Benedict Arnold as he attempts to take over West Point and sabotage the American Revolution.
Far Cry 3 is now available worldwide for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. You can check out our review round up for the game here and our list of the game's five best trailers here. Learn more about Far Cry 3' multiplayer and co-op modes here.
