Rumor: Far Cry 4 Cover Changed Due To Racism Controversy

It looks like Ubisoft may have changed the cover for Far Cry 4 due to people saying it looked racist.

A new cover for Far Cry 4 has now been listed on Amazon. It shows the main villain by himself. Before, the villain was sitting down with a black soldier down on his knees.

This new Far Cry 4 cover is more politically correct and shouldn’t really offend anyone now. The game itself comes out November 18th.

That is the limited edition cover for the game, the Racism row was about the standard edition of the game. Ubisoft released that cover at the announcement but most people seem to have missed it in order to argue over the other one.

Wasn’t this cover already there from the announcement?

Why does the author of this article claim the soldier on his knees was black? Due to skin pigmentation and bone structure, it is a bit obvious this must be a mistake.
