Ubisoft has announced that Far Cry 5's next DLC episode, the pulpy sci-fi-themed Lost on Mars, will be coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC next week, on July 17th.
Lost on Mars is the second of three planned story episodes for Far Cry 5, and (as was the case with last month's Vietnam-themed Hours of Darkness DLC), is a notable departure from the comparatively grounded events of the base game.
This time around, Hope County resident Nick Rye takes centre-stage, having been teleported to Mars in order to help his friend Hurk thwart an alien invasion of Earth. It introduces new alien weaponry, and Space Jets for traversal across the red planet. "Humankind's future is in the hands of the game's most notorious guns-for-hire," says Ubisoft, "Time to squash some bugs!"
