Just Cause 3

Avalanche’s explosive Just Cause series returns this year. And while you might be looking forward to wreaking havoc in Medici, there’s actually a reason why you’re blowing up the countryside.

It seems that General Di Ravello is sitting a precious resource called Bavarium, insulating him from the Agency’s wrath. It’s up to Rico to tear down the tyrant’s empire (and all of his bridges and gas stations just to rub salt in the wound).

The new video introduces some of the characters who will be assisting Rico on his mission of mayhem. You’ll be able to start blowing stuff up on December 1 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
