Speaking to Official PlayStation Magazine, Ubisoft scriptwriter Kevin Shortt revealed that development on Far Cry 3 is already underway. Not exactly a bombshell, considering the sheer success of the past two installments, but always nice to receive a confirmation regardless. While Shortt isn’t directly involved in penning this one, things are shaping up to be “pretty exciting” from what he’s seen:

But I know the team are [working on it] and what I’ve seen looks pretty exciting.

No word on when we might see Far Cry 3 in action, but late 2010 sounds probable.
