If you decided to (wisely) avoid the Internet on April 1, you might have missed Ubisoft's rather amazing spoof Far Cry 3 spin-off, titled Blood Dragon. But a listing on Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace suggests that the game is real, and will be releasing on May 1.
"Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is THE Kick-Ass Cyber Shooter taking place on a bizarre open-world island crawling with evil," reads the listing. "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."
Simply incredible. The downloadable game will apparently not require a copy of Far Cry 3, and will apparently feature Michael Biehn of Terminator (Sergeant Kyle Reese), Aliens and Navy Seals fame.
If you want to get into the 80s mood, listen to PowerGlove's Sound Cloud page. These guys seem to be making the game's soundtrack - and it's delightfully retro.
