History WMG / FarCry3BloodDragon

The result of the invasion will be an even [[UpToEleven crazier]] place than what you see in Blood Dragon, which will include giant SandWorm-like robots, all glowing in magenta, with black circuit lines. The VHS-like glitches will be revealed to be actually part of the game world, as side effects of the timeline tearing itself apart.

The game is set in an alternate 2007, where the world has suffered a nuclear war, while bionics and genetics are a lot more advanced than in our reality. At a first glance, it might seem that the setting is merely an excuse to run around and [[StuffBlowingUp blow stuff up]] with FrickinLaserBeams, but a line from the trailer reveals that something peculiar has taken place: '''the apocalypse has had an apocalypse'''.

* Confirmed by ''VideoGame/FarCry5''. One of the side quests has [[PlayerCharacter The Deputy]] visit the set of ''Blood Dragon 3'' and clear out the area of noise for the film's PrimaDonnaDirector.

Trivia: this guess came to this troper in a dream, and it was SoCoolItsAwesome.

* If ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'', which, like ''Far Cry'', also takes place in the AssassinsCreed universe, is to be believed, then Blood Dragon is a game within a game, as an arcade cabinet bearing it's name can be found.

* Judging by ''Trials of the Blood Dragon'', the Blood Dragon series is an in-universe film franchise, with ''Trials'' being the kids-marketed cartoon starring SpinOffsprings.

Since a good deal of FarCry3 has established Jason as a PopCulturedBadass of sorts, it stands to reason that he'd probably have been a fan of Sergeant Rex Power Colt, whether as a long-forgotten relic of TheEighties, or an AffectionateParody of it created in the modern era. It certainly isn't much of a stretch that Jason's ActionSurvivor credentials could be accredited to [[SawItInAMovieOnce remembering Rex's combat skills in the cartoons]], [[IKnowMortalKombat and thusly applying them to his situation]] - just subtracting what is clearly HollywoodScience from the equation.

Just for RuleOfFunny, it would be DLC on something like AssassinsCreedUnity!

The result of the invasion will be an even [[UpToEleven crazier]] place than what you see in Blood Dragon, which will include giant SandWorm-like robots, all glowing in magenta. One of the bad guys, and a turning point in the plot, will be an anthropomorphic robot wearing Spider's skin. You will play as Rex Colt again, you will be able to choose which faction to fight for (humans, to keep our timeline, or machines, to keep the Blood Dragon timeline) and you will repeatedly phase shift from one timeline to the other, depending on which faction is winning at the moment.

The story will start at a certain time in the future, in a point that will be shown to be common to both our timeline and the altered Blood Dragon timeline. There, an army of self-aware machines will invade multiple points in the past, anticipating the introduction of future technology in an attempt to "upgrade the timeline".

Something like Far Cry 3: Part 2: Return of the Vengeance. Why? [[RuleOfFunny It's hilarious and self-aware, that's why]]

However, Sloan was already evil, so he proceeded to use future technology to make further changes to the timeline. He introduced the world to a lot of future technology that was not meant to appear for decades or even centuries, and used it to turn the Cold War into an actual war. Still, the world eventually recovered thanks to that very future technology, and by 2007 it evolved into what we see in the game.

* As a corollary: '''we will see those events in a game that will be both a Far Cry sequel and a Blood Dragon prequel'''.

That line suggests that something terrible has happened ''to the apocalypse itself''. And here's the wild guess: in the future of our timeline, the world has suffered a terrible war, with no hope of recovering. However, that future had time travel technology, so it was decided that the only way out was to go back in time and prevent the war. Investigations revealed that the first events that would eventually lead to the war happened in the 1980s, so Colonel Sloan was sent back to the 1980s to prevent them from happening. He did, and the plan worked. The apocalypse had an apocalypse (=it was prevented).
