Fan Recreates the House From ‘Home Alone’ in Far Cry 5

Christmas is fast approaching, and one gamer has marked the season in a unique fashion; with a recreation of the house from the 1990 film ‘Home Alone.’ Using the Far Cry 5 Map Editor, the gamer has built a painstaking recreation of the suburban house with an incredible level of detail.

Using the Far Cry 5 Map Editor to Recreate the House From Home Alone

The recreation was done by a Redditor who goes by “u/duncsmaps,” who uploaded a screenshot of the building’s facade to the site. Comparing it to the house from Home Alone, the amount of detail is immediately apparent. A video showing the construction of the house in the Far Cry 5 map editor was later posted on YouTube. Here you can watch the creator build the house from the ground up, literally placing brick by brick at times.

Responding to comments asking whether the Far Cry 5 map editor was easy to use, duncsmaps responds; “Thanks! As you can probably tell by this post and all my previous posts, I love the Far Cry 5 map editor on PS4. I’ve barely touched the single player because I prefer to just be creative but I can say without a doubt the map editor is brilliant and hugely underrated. The possibilities are almost limitless and Ubisoft release FREE asset drops every now and then too; so the possibilities are always growing! Compared to Far Cry 2 map editor, Far Cry 5 map editor is a whole other level of creativity.”

Sadly, the house isn’t replete with homemade traps, but it’s certainly an impressive tribute to the iconic Christmas movie. Of course, Far Cry New Dawn is now on the horizon, with a launch set for Spring 2019. It’s currently unknown if Ubisoft will be bringing Far Cry 5’s Arcade Mode, including the map editor, into the title. Given the enduring success of the mode, it would be surprising if they didn’t.
