Trivia
Development
During development, the original developer
Crytek entered a strategic relationship with
Electronic Arts, a rival publisher and even a potential purchaser of
Ubisoft. Even though the relationship was non-exclusive and
Instincts was being developed at
Ubisoft Montreal, it seems to have influenced the development of the game. The PlayStation 2 version was cancelled, and the Xbox game was delayed from the fourth quarter of 2004 to the second fiscal quarter of 2005 and finally September 2005.
Ubisoft has now "lost" Crytek, but still owns the
Far Cry license.
