Far Cry 2 was in development for PSP, Wii, says resume

20110504farcry

According to the resume of ex-Ubisoft Montreal staffer Philippe Baude, Far Cry 2 was in development for Wii and PSP for a short period between late 2006 and early 2007. But as his LinkedIn profile shows, it ended up being canned, leaving PS3, 360 and PC owners to their own devices with the game. And that’s the end of that chapter. The next game in the series, Far Cry 3, launches next year for PS3, 360 and PC.

Thanks, Kotaku.
