While many gamers thought it couldn't be done and was silly to try, Ubi Soft announced today that Far Cry Instincts will ship for both the PS2 & Xbox in September 2005.

Purveyors of all things FPS on the PC, will most likely be familiar with the game, as it's wide open lush tropical enviroments ushered in a new era of insane PC visuals that graphic hounds ate up. Oh and the gameplay kicked serious ass too.

Ubi Soft's Montreal studio is already underway on the development of the title which promises to be a spectacle of dazzling visuals not yet seen on the aging PS2. While the Xbox has been known to push a few polygons around, critics have been naysaying the project almost from the beginning due to speculation that the current generation of consoles couldn't handle such a visual feast. We'll see about that.

A hands-on demo of Far Cry Instincts will be present at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) May 18th – May 20th in Los Angeles, California so stay tuned for more.
