After being teased for so long (almost 18 hours) Ubisoft finally came up with this reveal trailer of the next Far Cry game called the Far Cry Primal. The publisher's Youtube channel had a description to the game that read as follows.
The award-winning Far Cry franchise that stormed the tropics and the Himalayas now enters the original fight for humanity's survival with its innovative open-world sandbox gameplay, bringing together massive beasts, breathtaking environments, and unpredictable savage encounters.
Welcome to the Stone Age, a time of extreme danger and limitless adventure, when giant mammoths and sabretooth tigers ruled the Earth, and humanity is at the bottom of the food chain. As the last survivor of your hunting group, you will learn to craft a deadly arsenal, fend off fierce predators, and outsmart enemy tribes to conquer the land of Oros and become the Apex Predator.

As per a post on Ubisoft Official blog the player will play as a character called "Takkar, the sole survivor of an ambush on his hunting group" in this new game set in a wild, unfriendly surrounding where survival is imperative as suggested by the tagline "Survival is timeless".
Earlier today a video by the publishers teased the announcement of the game whose existence which was then blurry and unclear. Thanks to the leak by IGN Turkey who managed to leak some screens from the game which was then removed shortly. This video was tweeted by Ubisoft with a tagline "Survival is timeless". This was an indication to what the game is themed on: Survival action in an altered prehistoric setting.
The video appeared to be a loopy shot of a cave still painting with a hint of cave fire in the surrounding. Additional drawings were added later to the painting where a man is found wielding an archer's bow instead of a spear.
The next Far Cry game will be called Far Cry Primal that will be set in the Ice Age and will probably feature mammoths and sabretooths. This will also have some primitive combat with bows and spears. Far Cry Primal doesn't appear to be a full Far Cry 5 game but merely a spin-off much like the Blood Dragon was.
Heads Up
Far Cry Primal will hit stores on February 26, 2016 for PS4 and Xbox One and March 2016 for Microsoft Windows. Far Cry Primal is now available for pre-order at Best Buy, GameStop, UPlay and Target. All pre-orders come exclusive with The Mammoth Mission Pack. It is unclear as to what this pre-order would offer but it appears to have "3 exclusive mammoth missions".
