Just Cause 3 Multiplayer Won’t Be Available At Launch

Last week the sequel to Just Cause 2 was officially confirmed. Swedish developer Avalanche Studios revealed that it was indeed working on Just Cause 3 and has said that this title will be released at some point in 2015. New details have surfaced about this videogame. It will not be possible to enjoy the game in multiplayer at launch because Just Cause 3 won’t have a multiplayer mode from the get go.

This does come as a surprise because the multiplayer mod, albeit fan-made, was greatly appreciated by the Just Cause 2 community. Many would have expected the developer to take a cue from that and include one in Just Cause 3.

Avalanche Studios tells Game Informer that they really do appreciate the fan-made mod for Just Cause 3, they call it “absolutely fantastic,” while saying that they don’t expect fans to come up with a similar mod for Just Cause 3.

The developers say that they have made the choice to focus on the sandbox experience, to ensure that they can deliver a “grea Just Cause 3 experience,” which is why they’re not diverting any time and resources towards the multiplayer mode at this point in time.

Those Avalanche’s COO and co-founder Christofer Sundberg didn’t rule it out for the future. He says that maybe sometime down the line they’ll take Rico, the protagonist, “into the modern world of multiplaying.”

Just Cause 3 is destined to be released in 2015. It will be available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the PC.
