Far Cry fans who love digging into unreleased game content might want to check this out. A modding team is working on Project Beta, a mod that will bring back and improve early versions of the game’s levels, enemies, weapons, and vehicles from the 2003 E3 build. Recently, they shared a video highlighting the full mutant roster from that build, showing off detailed new 3D models and animations.
The team promises that some levels cut from the final release will return, along with a fresh coat of polish on older assets. Each mutant enemy gets distinct weapons, behavior patterns, and custom voice lines. These changes are designed to preserve the original vibe while also adding a fresh feel, so even longtime players might find it surprising.
Project Beta has been in development for over a year, but a specific release date has not been announced yet. If I had to guess, it might land sometime in late 2026 or 2027, assuming the team continues its progress. It’s kinda interesting to watch a classic get a second life like this, right?
