Without warning and against all odds, the servers for Far Cry 2 on Xbox 360 are back online. Over the past few hours, numerous players have confirmed that the multiplayer mode is working normally again and that the 14 online achievements, which had been inaccessible for years, can be unlocked once more.

The information comes from TrueAchievements, where the editor explains that, after receiving multiple reports from the community, they have been able to verify in their own databases that multiplayer achievements are being unlocked again by several users, confirming that the servers are currently active.

Far Cry 2 regains servers on Xbox 360

This unexpected return allows players to once again play ranked matches and complete 100% of the game, which had been closed off to most players for a long time. This is not the first time something like this has happened with old Ubisoft titles: in the past, some servers have temporarily reappeared only to disappear again a few days later without official explanation.

For now, there is no confirmation of how long the servers will remain active. We recommend not wasting time if you have the game’s multiplayer pending, as the servers could close again at any moment. It is also advised to join community-organized sessions to facilitate the achievement of the achievements, as some require coordination between multiple players.

If you had Far Cry 2 shelved or on your hard drive due to the online achievements, this is the time to return to the African Conflicts and settle that pending account before the opportunity disappears as quickly as it arrived.
