Far Cry 4 Escape From Durgesh Prison: No Walk In The Park

Far Cry 4 might just be the best shooter of 2014.

And if you don't want it to end, mark your calendar: On January 13, 2015, Ubisoft will release the Escape from Durgesh Prison DLC. It will retail for $10 or, if you purchased the $30 Season Pass, it will arrive at no extra cost.

Escape from Durgesh Prison tasks you with escaping the prison in question, but there's a nasty twist: If you die, it's over. That's right, this expansion introduces a perma-death theme, so you had best practice! You can play it either solo or co-op; you'll need to find weapons and unlock valuable skills if you wish to emerge victorious:

"To ramp up the challenge, when players die they must start the mission over again and use the knowledge and skills they gained during their previous run through to help them reach their extraction point successfully."

This concept might be alien to younger gamers but back in the day, if you died, it always meant starting over. Remember when teens reacted to Mega Man ? Yeah, that was when you had legitimate reason to trash a controller or a whole console.

Far Cry 4 Season Pass Features New Missions And Weapons

Forget about paying for DLC piecemeal. Just buy it all right out of the gate.

If you're eagerly anticipating Far Cry 4 , you'll probably be interested in the $30 Season Pass, which features several new missions and even a new player vs. player mode.

If you purchase the Season Pass, you'll receive exclusive access to The Syringe, a mission where players have to keep a dangerous drug from falling into the hands of super-villain Pagan Min. Then there's Escape from Durgesh Prison (which is pretty self-explanatory), and the inclusion of series mainstay Hurk. The explosives expert has five missions of his own, which will introduce you to a bunch of new weapons, including the harpoon gun.

If you're looking for something a bit darker, you can try out the Valley of the Yetis, which tasks you with discovering a mysterious cult in the Himalayas. And yeah, you might run into a few of those legendary creatures, too. Lastly, the Overrun multiplayer mode lets you choose the role of Rakshasa or a member of the Golden Path, and you'll fight to control various locations.

Far Cry 4 will release on November 18 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
