The player takes the role of Jason Brody, a rich young American thrill-seeker who finds himself in mortal danger after he and his friends are abducted by a band of ruthless pirates under the deranged command of Vaas Montenegro. As with Far Cry 2, it is a sequel in name only and has no real connection to any other Far Cry game, instead taking place on a fictional Pacific archipelago collectively known as Rook Island.

Far Cry 3 is the 2012 sequel to Far Cry 2, developed and published by Ubisoft for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC, using an updated form of the proprietary "Dunia" engine from its predecessor.
