I have been looking into a certain mystery for a while now, trying to find out what happened to the Far Cry mashup pack for Minecraft console. A long time ago, before the Playstation 4 version of the game was released, 2 Mojang employees did an interview with the OXM (Offical Xbox Magazine) talking about what their plans for the game where. They included the screenshot attached. These are textures we don't have on console, so this is obviously a WIP. The OXM folded a while ago, but we still have a news story from neoseeker about this. It was said that 4j studios were working on a Far Cry 3 themed World, Texture Pack, Music and Skin pack, something which is obviously a mashup pack. However, we never got the Far Cry Mashup pack.
A month before the OXM interview, Skin Pack 5 was released. it included 3 Far Cry skins: Vaas Montenegro, Jason Brody and Sergeant Rex. This proves that 4j and Ubisoft(Far Cry developers) DID have a copyright agreement going; how far did this agreement go?
2 years later, in 2016, ibxtoycat made a video claiming to have solved the mystery.
This raises an interesting point, but there's a problem with this theory. Neoseeker definitely mentioned a Far Cry skin pack. There are no skin packs on PC. I started watching old youtube videos about the missing mashup pack:
I think I might have solved the mystery though. On September 3, 2014, The Mass Effect mashup pack was released. Mass Effect is a very strange choice for the first mashup pack, so could another idea have been thrown around? Mass Effect is a mutch bigger game than Far Cry and would be easier to make a mashup pack out of. What if the idea of a mashup pack started with Far Cry, but then it wavered to Mass Effect. They had already bought the royalties for Vaas, Jason, and Sergeant Rex, so they put the Skins in Skin Pack 5.
That is my theory for what happened to the Far Cry 3 Mashup pack. Please note I have not played Far Cry, but I really like Mass Effect. What do you think happened to the Far Cry Mashup pack?

-by me, duh!
Update: I corrected the mojang error, it wasn't OXMs interview that talked about the texture, music, world and skin pack combo, its neoseeker.
