After a couple of leaks along the way Ubisoft has this week officially released their new retro styled game Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon.

The new Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon game is a standalone expansion to Far Cry 3, even though either game has very little in common with the other. Watch the launch trailer after the jump to see it in action.

"Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon lets players get the girl, kill the bad guys and save the world in a VHS-era vision of the future! As Sergeant Rex Colt, you are part man, part machine, all American. You are a state-of-the art Mark IV cyber-commando on a mission…of vengeance.

You’re out to bring down your old commanding officer and his battalion of ruthless killer cyborgs and you’ll stop at nothing to get the job done. Hollywood action icon Michael Biehn (The Terminator, Aliens, and The Abyss), returns in this explosive 1980s style sci-fi vision of a dark future, in Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon.

Turn off your VCR, plug in your video game cabinet, and get ready to experience all of the thrills of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, releasing May 1, 2013 as a stand-alone digital title. All PC pre-orders will receive a free copy of the soundtrack by Power Glove. And yes, we do have Blood Dragons shooting lasers from their eyes!”

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is now available tom purchase for $14.99 at select retailers and online stores. Enjoy!
