Amongst all the excitement of the Just Cause 3 announcement, there was just a hint of concern - several screenshots had emerged suggesting that the open world action game might be free-to-play.
Developer Avalanche has taken to its blog to squash those rumours; “It (Just Cause 3) will be distributed as a retail box and digital download. It is not a Free To Play game. It does not feature in-game micro transactions.”
Apparently the screenshots that leaked were from an “ancient version” of the game, where Avalanche was still experimenting with different business models. They “in no way” reflect the game as it is now, Avalanche claims.
For the third entry in the popular series the action’s set in a fictional Mediterranean archipelago ruled, naturally, by an evil dictator. “The time flew by as we tried out the vastly improved parachute and grapple mechanics, terrorized the latest dictator’s well-defended bases, and soared through the sky with the all-new wingsuit,” claims Game Informer.
Just Cause 3 will be available for PC and consoles in 2015.
