“We are very happy to be extending our partnership with Ubisoft,” said 5.11’s Vice President of Global Marketing, Willem Driessen. “5.11’s apparel and gear are designed to perform in the most demanding missions, and will meet the tactical needs of Far Cry 5 players just as thoroughly.” Driessen concludes, “We truly enjoy working with the Ubisoft team and seeing 5.11’s products featured in Far Cry 5.”

“It is great to partner with the 5.11 team again,” said Adam Novickas, Vice President of Marketing at Ubisoft. “Far Cry 5’s setting, the fictional Hope County, Montana, makes 5.11’s tactical, purpose-built products a natural fit for character customization as players prepare to go toe-to-toe with The Project at Eden’s Gate.”

Set in America, a first for the franchise, Far Cry 5 offers players total freedom to navigate a serene-looking yet deeply twisted world as the new junior deputy of fictional Hope County, Montana. Players will find that their arrival accelerates a years-long silent coup by a fanatical doomsday cult, The Project at Eden's Gate, igniting a violent takeover of the county. Under siege and cut off from the rest of the world, players will join forces with residents of Hope County and form the Resistance.

Far Cry 5 is available for purchase on March 27, 2018. For more information on 5.11 and the latest updates on 5.11’s Ubisoft® Far Cry 5 partnership, please follow 5.11 @511Tactical.
