Confirms Just Cause for Xbox 360 and Releases New Screenshots
Eidos Interactive, one of the world’s leading
publishers and developers of entertainment software, confirms today that Just
Cause will be published on Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft. Just Cause is being developed by Avalanche Studios and will be
released in Autumn 2006.
In Just Cause, gamers play the role of a field
operative and specialist in regime change charged with overthrowing the corrupt
government of San Esperito. The rogue South American state is suspected of
stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, and Rico’s mission is to negate the
threat this poses to world peace. Just Cause emphasizes player choice as it
gives gamers the freedom to tackle missions as they choose: playing the island’s
factions against one another, inciting a rebellion among the masses and building
alliances with rebel forces and drug cartels.

Pushing the capabilities of any console, Just
Cause is set on an unprecedented scale in terms of missions and size. The
massive world will take the average gamer over 40 minutes to cross, from one end
of the island to the other, and that’s without being distracted by one of the
300+ missions you could choose to accept along the way. The island can be
explored by land, sea and air, as you will have at your disposal one of the most
varied and exciting array of vehicles ever seen in a video game.
Christofer Sundberg, Founder and Creative
Director of Just Cause developer, Avalanche Studios said, “We are proud that
Just Cause will be available on Xbox 360, as well as current generation
platforms. Our aim has always been to deliver a next-gen experience and with the
power of the Xbox 360 you are going to see something really special.”
