Exactly when will its sequel be revealed?

It looks like an official announcement on Just Cause 3 is creeping ever closer, but E3 may still be a little too early for a reveal.

Plans for a Just Cause 3 have been something of an open secret now for years, although in public all developer Avalanche Studios has done is admitted they’re desperate to work on the franchise again.

And yet evidence that an imminent reveal is on its way has been discovered by Internet sleuth Superannuation, who spotted Square Enix registering the web domain Just Cause 3 this week.

Superannuation speculates that this could be preparing for a reveal at E3 in June, but our understanding is that this is unlikely. Although an official unveiling at some point this year is a given.




We’ve also heard rumours that there is a major secret surrounding the game that is not related to either gameplay or graphics, but which could have industry-wide ramifications.

In terms of official confirmation though all we have is a couple of old screenshots that are either Just Cause 3 or Avalanche’s Mad Max game (which at the time hadn’t been announced properly).

The LinkedIn profile for Avalanche’s boss also makes reference to a ‘new instalment in a very well-known game series’ for next gen consoles and PC, which alone is almost an admission that the game is well under way.
