Far Cry Primal's map is largely based on that of 2014's Far Cry 4, down to the same road and river layouts.
- Far Cry 4 became the fastest-selling game and the most successful launch in the series in the first week of release. Far Cry 4 was the second best selling game in the United Kingdom for all-formats during the week of its release, only behind Grand Theft Auto V. It was also the sixth best selling game in the US according to The NPD Group.

It's something of a surprise, since the Stone Age valley of Oros is set in Central Europe and Far Cry 4 is supposed to be set in the Himalayas.
The guy that made these in Far Cry 5 is blaming sites like IGN and Kotaku for spotlighting the levels, alerting a lot more people to them than just Far Cry players.
Developer Ubisoft never mentioned Primal would be based on Far Cry 4's map prior to the game being released, and the discovery of this fact has left some fans surprised.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon used portions of the main Far Cry 3 map, although it was sold as a downloadable spin-off, as suggested by the inclusion of Far Cry 3 in its title.

Primal, on the other hand, is a full-priced retail release.

To be fair to Ubisoft, Primal has obviously done a pretty decent job at the conversion - the game has been out over a week before the similarity was widely noticed.
Nevertheless, terrain is similar, and even river crossings are located in the same places - with Far Cry 4's bridges replaced by fords in Primal.
