The rumours were true: Just Cause 4 is in the works, and it’ll bring its plethora of explosions and bullets to modern devices.
Just Cause 4 was unveiled today during Microsoft’s presser, but all we got was a trailer. Consisting of mostly scripted action segments and story content, it doesn’t give us a great idea of what the game will look or play like, but it’s safe to assume that things will play out similarly to the previous titles.
Stay tuned for more information pertaining to Just Cause 4, which will be released onto Xbox One, PS4 and PC on December 4th of this year.
Update: We now know more about Just Cause 4, thanks to a press release from Square Enix. See below for more information on the open world game.
Set in the fictional South American world of Solis, JUST CAUSE 4 takes the series incredible destruction and unique physics to a whole new level with the introduction of tornadoes and other Extreme Weather events. JUST CAUSE 4 has four distinct biomes: Rainforest, Grasslands, Alpine & Desert. With each biome offering its own individual, fully simulated weather event, players will have a truly unique experience as they traverse this deep, diverse world.
Rico Rodriguez returns in JUST CAUSE 4 with his trademark parachute, wingsuit and, of course his grapple hook, now enhanced with new functionality and fully customisable. Making it the most powerful and creative tool the player has ever had.
“We’ve taken everything that players loved from our previous games and with brand new features, enhanced physics and core gameplay improvements, we’ve created the most ambitious Just Cause experience to date,” said Francesco Antolini, Game Director at Avalanche Studios. “The introduction of Extreme Weather is a complete game changer – players will not have seen anything like this in a videogame. We have created fully physicalized tornadoes, blizzards, sandstorms and torrential downpours which affect gameplay in a very real way. All of this is now possible thanks to our brand new Apex engine.”
The new Apex engine underpins everything in JUST CAUSE 4. It delivers the most interactive, extreme weather simulations ever seen in a videogame, complimented by incredible visuals, unparalleled physics and endless creative possibilities.
