Players will have to wait longer for virtually painted breasts.
Gamers were expecting to slash through the jungles in Far Cry 3 this September but Ubisoft announced today that the release date has been pushed back.
The new release date is set for December 4, 2012.
According to producer Dan Hay, “We’re taking more time to create the best possible gameplay experience...and we want every element of this insane, action-packed adventure to be of the highest possible quality for the players.”
Far Cry 3 had a pretty impressive showing at this year's E3 media event. Gameplay for the single player campaign as well as the four player co-op campaign was shown at the Ubisoft and Sony press conferences respectively. This delay may be in response to September being already overcrowded with titles like Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Dead or Alive 5, and Borderlands 2 being released that same month.
When Far Cry 3 is released this December, it'll be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

UBISOFT SETS NEW RELEASE DATE FOR FAR CRY 3
SAN FRANCISCO — June 25, 2012 —Today, Ubisoft® announced that Far Cry 3 will be released on November 29 in EMEA and on December 4 in the U.S. Far Cry 3 will be available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, the Sony®PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows® PC.
In Far Cry 3, players step into the shoes of Jason Brody, a man alone at the edge of the world, stranded on a mysterious tropical island. In this savage paradise where lawlessness and violence are the only sure thing, players dictate how the story unfolds, from the battles they choose to fight to the allies or enemies they make along the way. As Jason Brody, players will slash, sneak, detonate and shoot their way across the island in a world that has lost all sense of right and wrong.
“We’re taking more time to create the best possible gameplay experience,” said Dan Hay, producer at Ubisoft. “Far Cry 3 is a huge offering and we want every element of this insane, action-packed adventure to be of the highest possible quality for the players.”
