Gameplay

Just Cause 4 is a third-person action-adventure game set in an open world environment.[3] The player assumes the role of series protagonist Rico Rodriguez.[3]

Synopsis

The game is set in a fictional South American country called Solis.[3] Rico Rodriguez takes on the recurring paramilitary group the Black Hand, run by a woman named Gabriela.[3]

Development and release

Just Cause 4 is being developed by Avalanche Studios and published by Square Enix.[3] The game is being developed with a new version of Avalanche's Apex game engine.[1] The new technology allows the game to have diverse and extreme weather effects including blizzards, sandstorms, tornadoes and more.[1] Developers of the game noted that improvements had been made to the game's artificial intelligence over Just Cause 3. These changes were intended to make non-player characters smarter so that they behave more tactically and pose more of a threat to the player.[4] Other improvements to the game engine include physics-based rendering and a new animation system.[2]

The game was announced during Microsoft's press conference at E3 2018, and also appeared later at Square Enix's showcase and the PC Gaming Show.[3][1] The game is scheduled to be released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on December 4, 2018.[5]
