Ubisoft has announced Far Cry 4, coming November 21 to the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Windows PCs. Confirming rumors from a few months back, the game will be set across the dramatic vistas of the Himalayas.

Specifically, the action will take place in the fictional region of Kyrat, “a breathtaking, perilous and wild region of the Himalayas struggling under the regime of a despotic self-appointed king.” Following the huge success of Far Cry 3, this latest installment aims to be “the most expansive and immersive Far Cry experience ever.”

Razer has decided that hearing an explosion isn't quite enough anymore. The company has launched the Kraken V4 X Sensa HD Haptics, a new wired gaming headset that adds physical vibrations to the audio experience. Essentially, when something suitably dramatic happens in a game, the headset can make the player feel it as well as hear it.

The big trick here is Sensa HD Haptics, Razer's haptic technology that converts compatible game audio into physical feedback. Explosions, gunshots, engines, and other low-frequency sounds can translate into vibrations through the headset, adding another layer of immersion without requiring a fancy gaming chair with an unnecessarily aggressive subwoofer.
