Far Cry 3 comes with two games. One is Jason’s, featuring the rise and fall of Vaas Montenegro and the liberation of Rook Island. The other features four strangers from what’s known as “The Astrid Incident,” survivors of a double-cross gone wrong.

The S.S. Astrid is a black-market cruise liner, a source of illicit thrills to the well-heeled who are looking for a little more fun than the law allows. Its captain decides to take the money and run one night, selling his ship and his crew out to Vaas Montenegro and his band of pirates. The captain makes it off the ship with the safe, containing his money and his crew’s pay. There are only four survivors.
