Just Cause 3 Confirmed For PS4, Xbox One & PC With 2015 Release Date

Last night rumours were about that Game Informer’s cover reveal for December would be Just Cause 3, and those rumours have turned out to be true. Avalanche Studios has confirmed the existence of Just Cause 3, and it will be launching on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2015. The game will see the return on the grappling hook and parachute, with a new addition being the wingsuit. I can already see players jumping out of helicopters to use that wingsuit to land in the middle of a gang fight.

There’s very little detail from Avalanche considering the game is a cover story for GI, but expect more details to trickle out as the days pass. We already know that there is another dictator to topple, though I’m more than likely to spend more time causing chaos around the island than focusing on the story, just like I did with the previous two games. Hopefully we’ll see some gameplay soon too, and details on how big this map will be.

  1. Nice :)

  2. YESS!
    Just Cause 2 is one of my all time favourite games. It was like a typical, over the top, kick-ass, cheesy ’80s action movie. Tethering chasing jeeps to aeroplanes never got old.

    Very excited about this one

    • Along with many others, I became so bored of it. The plot was pretty terrible and felt very forced. The island was an absolute playground but only for so long. It was too large a place with very little density and fully-fleshed environments – from my humble perspective.

      It’s such a shame as I loved messing around in the beginning but never returned after my second or third session with the game.

      I hope they rectify this as I feel like it’s over-the-top formula could really work if they concentrate on creating a better world… not a bigger world.

  3. YES!

    Man, this has been a long time coming. Can’t wait.

  4. Still not finished the second one (I know, shame on me!), but I have to say that the island in the picture looks a hell of a lot like Panau. Is that deliberate?

  5. Great news! Took me a year on and off to platinum JC2 but it was so much fun blowing stuff up, I still went back every now and again after that.

  6. Oh I see that Nathan Drake changed jobs to toppling dictators from Treasure Hunter.
    Or perhaps just taking a break.

    Is it just me that the moment I saw that face the first thing it came to mind was the protagonist from Uncharted?

    • Ha! I see it now – what happened to the greasy Spanish waiter look?

  7. Pants > Mess > Tissues…

    That is all.

  8. Co-Op, please!

  9. Consider me a very happy bunny…

  10. Based on what Avalanche could do with the PS3 and 360 colour me VERY excited in what next gen has to offer! Just Cause 2 was unashamedly naff but it was like the best playground for fans of 80s action movies. Yes, story was pants, characterisation awful (bordering on racist / xenophobic?) and voice acting? Don’t get me started. But. It. Was. Bloody. Good. Fun!
