Ubisoft seems to have accidentally jumped the gun on providing more plot details about Far Cry 4. The announcement was fairly bare-bones, but the leak gives more detail on the main character and just what brings him to the Himalayan region of Kyrat.

A since-removed pre-order page was captured, and describes the hero's quest: "Hidden in the majestic Himalayas lies Kyrat, a country steeped in tradition and violence. You are Ajay Ghale. Traveling to Kyrat to fulfill your mother's dying wish, you find yourself caught up in a civil war to overthrow the oppressive regime of dictator Pagan Min."

By the same token, creative director Alex Hutchinson has responded to some criticism based on the cover. He tweeted, "Just so it's clear for those jumping to conclusions: He's not white and that's not the player."

      Wait, what, that quote makes zero sense, what's the context? People got outraged about the player apparently being white?

        I'm pretty sure people were outraged at that hideous jacket he's wearing

          The picture depicts a blonde light-skinned man in a shiny pink suit against the backdrop of the Himalayas, smirking as he uses a defaced statue as a throne. His right hand rests on the head of a darker skinned man who is kneeling before him, clutching a grenade with the pin pulled. Though we know very little about the characters depicted, their backgrounds, or their motivations, the art got people talking (and tweeting). Some were concerned about racism. Others were worried about homophobia.

            Oh goody. Let's get offended about everything! "Just so it's clear for those jumping to conclusions: He's not white and that's not the player." - Creative Director Alex Hutchinson

            The picture depicts a blonde light-skinned TIGER in a shiny pink suit against the backdrop of the Himalayas, smirking as he uses a defaced statue as a throne. His right PAW rests on the head of a darker skinned TIGER who is kneeling before him, clutching a grenade with the pin pulled. Though we know very little about the characters depicted, their backgrounds, or their motivations, the art got people talking (and tweeting). Some were concerned about NOTHING. Others were worried about MORE NOTHING.

            Wait, where does the homophobia angle come from?

              The horror of someone daring to choose to style their hair and wear a "non-macho" color, probably.
              Looks good on him, really.

              Don't worry, it's racist, sexist, ageist, and generally politically incorrect. The mob is trying out Homophobia first to see how that works out.

          No, I don't but I would have expected an article quoting a reaction to some controversy to summarize what said controversy is.
