'Just Cause 3' PS4 Release Date Confirmed This Year? Avalanche To Feature An All New Offline Mode But Will No Longer Include Multiplayer Mode

| By

Finally there's a great possibility that a "Just Cause 3" PS4 release date would happen this year.

Game Spot reported that Avalanche Studios has revealed that the second installment to the hit game is going to be launched on "holiday 2015."

According to the publication, the revelation cameforth the new Firestarter trailer where the game's protagonist Rico Rodriguez was seen in action for the gameplay.

To further solidify the news, IGN also posted on their website that "Just Cause 3" PS4 release date is indeed coming this year.

In line with "Just Cause 3" PS4 release date, Avalanche announced that the third installment to the game franchise will finally feature an offline mode, but with that comes the need to sacrifice the multiplayer feature, PCGames.de reported.

"We want to make the game accessible to as many people as possible," game director Roland Lesterlin said when asked about the offline mode. "Absolutely."

The AAA game developer explained the reason behind the decision to remove the multiplayer mode saying,

"The mod is absolutely fantastic," Avalanche co-founder Chritofer Sundberg told Game Spot. "We owe those guys a lot. They have actually supported the game and helped it stay alive so many years after it was released. We don't expect the fans to make the multiplayer for Just Cause 3, but at some point you have to make a choice on where your focus is. Our strength is the sandbox experience, and we want to deliver a great Just Cause 3 experience."

Sundberg also told with IGN while it's no easy decision, working on single player mode is what they think is best for the players.

"It's tough to make it fit with the Just Cause IP," Sundberg explained. "For us, the sandbox has always been the focus, and that's where we can really shine. I think that's where we can improve a lot on the game. Adding a layer of multiplayer when you're not really sure?"

"The [Just Cause 2 PC] multiplayer mod got away with so much that we never could with bugs and stuff. It's so chaotic, and that's what makes it fun. But we could never do something like that, release it, and expect people to pay for it."

Adding, "We were taken by surprise with the Just Cause 2 multiplayer mod, and we hope they'll look at JC3 the same way. Obviously we're more...prepared this time, and we can offer more support to the community. We love them."
