As the commercial Far Cry 4 release date nears, Ubisoft attempts to stimulate excitement among fans with a cinematic gameplay trailer featuring the disturbed but well-dressed super villain, Pagan Min.

"Sadistic dictator. Psychopath. Best dressed man in Kyrat. These are just a few traits on Pagan Min's lengthy resume as the self-appointed King of Kyrat," the official PlayStation blog said.

Pagan Min, in his all-pink ensemble, is perhaps one of the most charismatic antagonists in the gaming world.

Voice actor Troy Baker has lent his voice to the self-proclaimed king of Kyrat.

Baker had recent stints as Joel in The Last of Us and Joker in the Batman Arkham Origins but is perhaps best known as Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite. 

When asked about his favorite scene in Far Cry 4, Baker replied.

"It's going to sound glib and cliche, but every damn one. There was not one wasted scene. If you go to those black bars in the cut-scene, it better not be viewed as an interruption. It better have a strategic purpose."

Meanwhile, Game Director Scott Mitchell revealed the one of the biggest changes that gamers should expect from this new installment.

"The tiger has evolved a lot; there's an entire Shanghai team devoted to it. Everybody jumped on and we started to think more about microbehaviours," Mitchell said. 

He continued, "When it's stalking prey, it's going to have totally different animations from FC3, so it creeps up on the prey and the attacks are a lot more visceral, with more realistic gestures." 

If the Far Cry 4 release date holds up, the game is due to hit shelves on Nov. 18, 2014, for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.
