An obvious whoopsie on Steam has revealed the existence of Just Cause 4, in an advert, with out anybody having introduced any such recreation. So that’ll most likely be one thing Square Enix plan to announce throughout their E3 press occasion on Monday. The advert is an easy image which doesn’t reveal a lot however all I have to know is: our fella nonetheless has a wrist-mounted grappling hook; he’s nonetheless exterior someplace fairly; he nonetheless has weapons; he nonetheless has a grenade launcher on a gun. Aye that’ll be Just Cause alright, extra open-world sandbox shoot-o-grapple-a-destruction.
As Kotaku famous (and tweeter “Wario64” shared a direct hyperlink to), the advert was in one among Steam’s pop-up notifications. The pop-up appears to have been pulled from the rotation, however the image is still up.
That’s it. The hyperlink to pre-order didn’t go wherever, as a result of y’comprehend it’s not purported to have a retailer web page but. It’s not purported to have an advert both, obvs.
Square Enix’s E3 showcase will begin at 6pm (10am Pacific) on Monday the 11th. That’ll doubtless be once they really announce Just Cause 4. I’m certain they’ll additionally present extra of Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, and I’m hoping we’d hear from Dontnod’s next Life Is Strange, perhaps even their Marvel games.
My hopes for Just Cause Four are easy: fewer and higher escort missions; higher (or at the very least much more ignorable) story; a much less empty world; larger explosions; multiplayer not left to modders; a grappling hook highly effective sufficient to drag the Moon right down to Earth. It’ll be constructing on some superb foundations.
“It’s a triumph of a game despite some flaws, and certainly one of my peak gaming moments of 2015,” our John wrote in his Just Cause 3 review. “Bright, cheerful, ridiculous, and most of all, completely decided to make sure you have enjoyable.”
Presumably Avalanche Studios are making this one too, and Square Enix will publish once more. Avalanche are awfully busy in the intervening time, with Rage 2 and Swedish open-world robo-buster Generation Zero each introduced prior to now month. Oh, they usually’re now opened by a film company too.
