Just Cause 3 announced

Avalanche Studios and Square Enix have announced Just Cause 3, the new installment of the highly explosive, go-anywhere sandbox series.

Rico Rodriguez is back with his grappling hook, but this time he's traveling to his come country, a fictional Mediterranean island nation called Medici to fight off another evil dictatorship.

Just Cause 3 takes place several years after the second entry. Rico has been significantly aged since his last outing. Rico will get a lot of height during the game, thanks to a grapple mechanic that allows him to hook onto nearly any object, including enemies and passing aircraft. A new wing suit allows Rico to reach untold new speeds while free falling.

Avalanche Studios has spent time retooling the game’s controls, which are said to be tighter. Several ex-members of the Burnout team have also worked to make sure that the vehicle handling is a lot more fun.

The game features a 400 square mile map, and the development team wants to let players explore any of the three main areas from the very beginning. Throughout this journey players will attack several enemy bases and destroy propaganda billboards, statues, loudspeakers before installing their own forces in the town. Once Rico “owns” these towns, he can use them to fast travel, lay low and dissipate heat, or save vehicles that he can then call in as a supply drop later on.

Just Cause 3 will be available in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC.
