Far Cry 5 First DLC ‘Lost on Mars’ Gets a Release Date

by Dylan Blight

Ubisoft has revealed the release date for Far Cry 5’s upcoming DLC, Lost on Mars, along with a new trailer.

In Lost on Mars, you’ll leave Earth behind and head to space. It’s an interesting expansion for a game that was trying to tell something of a serious story, but Far Cry has always had an on-again, off-again relationship with absurdity—see Far Cry: Blood Dragon.

You’ll be able to download Lost on Mars on July 17. If you have the Season Pass it’s included; otherwise, it will be available for individual purchase.

The official description reads:

“When Nick Rye agrees to help Hurk out of a jam, he never expects it will lead him outside of Hope County … and all the way to Mars! Teleported to a hostile planet and with only Hurk by his side, Nick must master powerful technology to battle alien arachnids and restore power to ANNE – a futuristic AI who represents humanity’s last line of defence against eight-legged invaders with Earth in their sights. Soar over the dunes and canyons of Mars with a jet pack, blast deadly arachnids with lasers — and save mankind while you’re at it. Lost on Mars is a Far Cry adventure that’s truly out of this world.”
