Far Cry 5: Lost On Mars, the next unique Far Cry 5 DLC expansion adventure, is almost upon us. In case the title of the DLC isn’t descriptive enough, Lost on Mars takes players to an alien-infested version of the red planet complete with crazy new weapons, a Space Jet traversal tool and additional assets for those who want to build their own maps.

Far Cry 5: Lost On Mars launches on July 17th, 2018 as part of the $29.99 Season Pass, $89.99 Gold Edition version of the game, or $9.99 all by itself.  See the trailer below and a screenshot as well.

See the announcement below from Ubisoft.

Today, Ubisoft announced Far Cry 5: Lost on Mars, the second post-launch adventure, will release July 17 on available platforms. Lost on Mars continues the uncanny adventures in the Far Cry 5 Season Pass as players travel to Mars to eradicate an alien threat. Lost on Mars can be purchased as a stand-alone DLC for $9.99, as part of the season pass for $29.99 or the Gold Edition for $89.99.

Lost on Mars transports the franchise?s insanity from Hope County to the red planet as Nick Rye is teleported to a hostile planet to help his buddy Hurk thwart an alien invasion of Earth. This adventure gives players a new arsenal of alien weaponry, including the Blaster of Disaster, Hellfire and Morphinator, while also introducing a new traversal tool with Space Jets. Humankind?s future is in the hands of the game?s most notorious guns-for-hire. Time to squash some bugs!

In addition, all Far Cry 5 players will have access to new Mars-themed assets in Far Cry Arcade, available now. Map builders will be able to integrate these assets into their existing maps or create new sci-fi-themed maps. Future content will also include thematic assets that will be added to Far Cry Arcade for free. Those who download the Lost on Mars DLC will also gain access to new weapons ? Obliteratorrrr, Taser Phazer Annihilazer, Nerve Reaper, Grape Popper and Hellfire ? to use as they liberate Hope County from the Project at Eden?s Gate.

Far Cry 5 post-launch will continue with a final DLC adventure ? Dead Living Zombies ? which will be released in August. An additional asset drop will give map builders more tools to create unique Far Cry Arcade experiences. The adventures are available in the season pass or as stand-alone DLC purchases, while new asset releases for Far Cry Arcade will be available for free to all players in future title updates.

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 will continue to receive premium DLC adventures available in the season pass, as well as free content, including new Far Cry Arcade assets and in-game live events following the launch.
