Will 'Far Cry 4' be set in the Himalayas?

Fans of the popular video game series Far Cry might be a little hesitant to accept this new rumor about the fourth chapter of the franchise. After years of tropical, sandy settings, it looks like Far Cry 4 could end up in the cold, snowy Himalayas! We won't know for sure until Ubisoft releases some information, but right now the latest rumors are claiming the setting change.

Though you might not be too happy with the new setting, this rumor also claims that players can ride elephants in the new terrain. That has got to be worth something, right?

Eurogamer reports:

Our first official glimpse at Far Cry 4 will come much sooner, however - the title is set to be shown off in some form during Ubisoft's annual press conference at E3 in June, one source said. Expect PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. We're unsure at this stage whether current-gen versions are also in the works. A setting based around the Himalayas was first hinted at on Twitter last month by tipster Superannuation, who also suggested it would include some kind of monsters. Far Cry 4's gameplay will remain similar to that in Far Cry 3 - presumably including a large focus on hunting local fauna. The world's map will be structured in a familiar fashion too, a separate source said, with outposts for you to liberate.

What do you think of this new rumor concerning Far Cry 4? Are you willing to accept the drastic change of scenery or are you not happy with this possibility?
