Just Cause 3 multiplayer mod imminent

The Just Cause series is a blend of James Bond and Grand Theft Auto, with the player taking on the role of a secret agent whose missions happen to involve massive stunts, explosions, and over-the-top characters.

Out of the box, the game has always been a single player experience, but an acclaimed mod enabled multiplayer in the series’ prior installment, Just Cause 2.

As soon as a sequel was announced, work began on a multiplayer mod for it as well.

However, the lead developer for the mod, Cameron Foote, became a victim of his own success, when he was offered a job by the studio that produced the game in the first place.

Due to time constraints he was forced to abandon the mod.

A second team, called “Nanos”, has, however, completed a multiplayer mod and will formally release it on 20 July.

You’ll need a PC to play the mod, though the game’s developer, Avalanche Studios, has hinted that mods may come to console players at some point in the future.
