Just Cause 3 Announced
Square Enix have today announced Just Cause 3, to be released in 2015 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Very little information has been released, with blowout planned for the December edition of Game Informer.
Christofer Sundberg, founder and Chief Creative Officer at Avalanche Studios, said:
We’ve been waiting for this moment ever since Just Cause 2 was released.
This is the culmination of a decade’s worth of open-world evolution and innovation. In JUST CAUSE 3, we’ve sent Rico to a beautiful Mediterranean archipelago. He is of course bringing his Grapple and Parachute, both with game-changing upgrades, as well as the brand new Wingsuit. JUST CAUSE 3 truly represents the next generation of chaotic sandbox fun, and we can’t wait to show you more next year.
Although this announcement has been a long time coming, it’s not especially surprising. Avalanche have been hiring new staff and teasing the new game for quite some time, since before the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were released.
One of the key new features – if they’re going to keep to their original plans – will be phone app compatibility, and asynchronous multiplayer, although, again, details on those features are vague and not at all set in stone.
Just Cause 3 is set to be released next year.
