Just Cause 2 Officially Announced

31 Jan, 2008, 9:30 am IST | Avinash Bali |

Developer Avalanche Studios’ take on the GTA franchise was a mixed bag. Some liked it, while others, well, hated it. We fall somewhere in between, since things started out pretty decently but spiraled into a load of crap a couple of hours into the game.


Either way, the game must have fared pretty well commercially since Avalanche has been busy working on a sequel titled Just Cause 2. Here’s a gist of things to come, courtesy of the official press release:

With more stunts, vehicles and weapons than ever before and an incredible overhauled grappling hook, Rico returns to action in Panau, an incredibly detailed and vast 1000 sq km game world of different climates and ultra-realistic weather effects. Leap from your plane and skydive from 10,000 feet down into a tropical jungle, tear across an arid desert in a dune buggy or climb your way up a snowy mountain in a 4x4. The vast open-ended, unique gameplay is back, allowing you full freedom once again to free roam and explore the massive world of Panau and tackle your assignments however you want.

With a new and improved air, land and sea stunt system featuring Rico’s notorious parachute and grappling hook, taken to incredible new extremes and a massive array of new vehicles featuring an advanced driving model, players can now pull off some of the finest action stunts ever seen in a video game in a truly massive and beautifully rendered environment.

Just Cause 2 is expected to be released for the PC, Xbox360, and PS3 sometime this year.
