Just Cause 4 Leaked By Steam Ad Ahead Of Reveal; Rico Rodriquez Returns
While an ad from Walmart Canada recently spilled the beans about Just Cause 4, there was still some reasonable doubt considering that there wasn’t any official box art in the ad. However, the game has now been all but confirmed thanks to a new steam ad, which recently went live on the platform.
The ad in question reveals official artwork that prominently features series protagonist Rico Rodriguez, confirming that he will be returning for the fourth installment. While there’s no more official information to go on at this point, the game will likely be running on Avalanches’s in-house APEX engine. They are working on a couple of other big games at the moment that also utilize this engine, and its looking impressive so far.
While the existence of Just Cause 4 isn’t altogether surprising, it is in the sense that developer Avalanche is currently very busy. Yesterday they announced a new game called Generation Zero, which goes along with the recent announcement of Rage 2. They’ve got a lot of big games in the pipeline that are all being announced in quick succession, and hopefully they have the manpower to do them all justice.
We’ll bring you more information on the game once the official announcement happens.
Firaxis, the strategy game studio behind XCOM (the reboots) and Civilization, laid off employees. According to Axios, 30 Take-Two Interactive-owned and 2K Games-published employees were laid off.
After a streak of hits (XCOM 2, Civ 6), the studio’s most recent release, the XCOM-inspired, card-powered Marvel’s Midnight Suns, was a critical hit but a commercial disaster.
The Marvel IP didn’t attract core gamers to strategic games. This is unfortunate because local critics virtually all agree Midnight Suns is great and made by a renowned company. How could it be anything else when directed by Jake Solomon, the most imaginative strategic mind among Sid “The Father of Computer Gaming” Meir’s personally mentored acolytes and true successor to a legacy as old as the medium?
Metal Gear Delta: Snake Eater will reuse the original voice lines, which isn’t surprising as the original voice cast is returning.
Tommy Williams, Konami America’s chief of communications, verified the story for the Verge. We’re sure David Hayter has the most work, but reuniting the gang wasn’t simple.
He also confirmed that the title triangle is pronounced “delta.” In mathematics, the fourth letter of the ancient Greek alphabet represents change without modifying structure.
Kojima wasn’t involved with the project. Do you like this tribute? Do you prefer modern script or antique lines?
Indie games are sold through Devolver Digital, the industry’s most colorful and eccentric publisher. Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest will host a fresh showcase on June 8 at 3 p.m. PT or 11 p.m. BST. Devolver Digital’s odd metanarrative format will make things unpleasant.
If you’re unfamiliar, we recommend going alone. Games will exist—likely well-curated ones. Last year’s screening introduced us to the adorable Aussie indie Cult of the Lamb, which became a cult smash.
