In fact, the player-character was revealed in this artwork to be Kyrat native Ajay Ghale, and in his Eurogamer interview he stressed that there's perhaps about five white people in Far Cry 4, none of which are villains or people you fight against.

He has already clarified that Pagan is not white, and that the captive man is not the player-character. He addressed assumptions that the game's villain - Pagan Min, the man in the purple suit - was white, and that the image of him placing a hand on his ethnic captive's head was racist.

Now, speaking with Eurogamer, Hutchinson elaborated on controversy surrounding the Far Cry 4 box art reveal, which he has already explained in some detail. It follows confirmation that new Far Cry 4 gameplay will be streamed here later today, June 24.

The game's creative director Alex Hutchinson has explained why the assumptions are incorrect, and how gamer's knee-jerk reaction to the art was "uncomfortable." Far Cry 4 received a fair bit of flack after the shooter's official cover art was revealed, with gamers accusing Ubisoft of racism, stereotyping and more.
