Not wanting Epic's Gears of War 2 sales to get all the glory, Ubisoft has officially announced that its first-person shooter, Far Cry 2, has sold over one million units to date worldwide. The game is currently available on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and features sprawling, open-ended environments.

"The holiday quarter is off to a solid start with the successful launch of Far Cry 2," said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. "The game is well on track to achieve our expectations for the year."

The unique game play of Far Cry 2 has impressed players around the globe, offering a true open world environment that allows gamers to create their very own individual game experience. Built upon the acclaimed Dunia engine, they are offered a lush visual landscape, where they can live a realistic 24-hour day to night cycle in the beautiful African savannah.
