Far Cry 5 goes intergalactic when Lost on Mars DLC frops next week

The Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars DLC, the second post-launch adventure, will drop July 17th 2018.

Lost on Mars continues the adventures in the Far Cry 5 Season Pass as players travel to Mars to eradicate an alien threat. Seems like the next logical step for the series.

To be fair, the FarCry series has been really great with the DLC/expansion content for games in the series. Instead of getting an added mission that feels like it was left out of the core game for time or quality, they produce almost totally new games in miniature form. Blood Dragon anyone?

Lost on Mars transports the insanity from Hope County to the red planet as Nick Rye is teleported to a hostile planet to help his buddy Hurk thwart an alien invasion of Earth.

This DLC gives players a new alien weaponry, including the Blaster of Disaster, Hellfire and Morphinator, while also introducing a new transversal tool with Space Jets.

All Far Cry 5 players will also have access to new Mars-themed assets in the Far Cry Arcade. Map builders will be able to use these assets in their existing maps or create new sci-fi-themed ones. Future content will also include thematic assets that will be added to Far Cry Arcade for free. T

hose who download the Lost on Mars DLC will also gain access to new weapons – Obliteratorrrr, Taser Phazer Annihilazer, Nerve Reaper, Grape Popper and Hellfire – to use as they liberate Hope County from the Project at Eden’s Gate.

Far Cry 5 post-launch will continue with a final DLC adventure – Dead Living Zombies – which will be released in August because they have to hit all pop-culture clichés while jumping the shark. The adventures are available in the season pass or as stand-alone DLC purchases, while new asset releases for Far Cry Arcade will be available for free to all players in future title updates.
