Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Is Right Around The Corner

Not only did Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon -the 80's inspired sci-fi expansion for Far Cry 3- seem to suddenly come out of nowhere, it seems that it's actually coming a lot sooner than we thought. The Xbox Live Marketplace now has the game listed with a May 1st release date -literally three weeks away- with a new listing description to boot.

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is THE Kick-Ass Cyber Shooter taking place on a bizarre open-world island crawling with evil. Welcome to an 80’s VHS vision of the future. The year is 2007 and you are Sargent Rex Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando who’s fighting against a cyborg army gone rogue. Your mission: get the girl, kill the baddies, and save the world. Experience every cliché of a VHS era vision of a nuclear future, where cyborgs, blood dragons, mutants, and Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens, Navy Seals) collide. Playing Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon doesn't require a copy of Far Cry 3.

And if you read through all of that with diligent eyes, you surely noticed that it looks like Michael Biehn -otherwise known as Kyle Reese in (Terminator) and Corporal Hicks (god damn you should know that one...Aliens)- will be playing the starring role.

Awesome? Yeah...awesome.
