Game News - Just Cause 2 Officially Justified

   As Che Guevara would have probably said after playing last year's subversive shooter Just Cause, it only takes 4.7 GB of explosive gaming goodness to start a revolution. Just one month after Avalanche Studios' action game was sucessfully deployed at retail last September, rebellious fans around the world rejoiced when the Swedish developer's CEO, Christofer Sundberg, revealed to a local magazine that his studio was already hard at work on a sequel. At that time, publisher SCi Games / Eidos was still refusing to make any comments, but that has finally changed this week.

   In SCi's latest financial report, the company bluntly admits that the Just Cause sequel is in development, after recalling the original game's surprisingly good performance in the UK charts, and saying that they now expect it to hit the 1 million in sales mark during their current fiscal year.
"New product releases accounted for approximately 50% of revenues for the period to 30 December 2006.

In the six months to 31 December 2006 the Group's most successful new product launch was Just Cause. Just Cause was released in September 2006 and immediately entered the UK charts at No 1 in the Microsoft Xbox 360 charts and No 2 in the All Formats charts. We now expect Just Cause to sell over one million units in the current financial year. The sequel to Just Cause is in development."    In lack of any other kind of details about the sequel, we'll just assume for now that it will be called something like Just Cause 2, and stick with what we know so far: that it will leave behind the huge South-American island, in order to move within the boundaries of an extremely large urban environment. As for the target platforms, let's see... Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, maybe? That would be nice.
