While Just Cause 2's fan-created multiplayer mode was a huge reason why Avalanche Studio's open-world sequel garnered so much love among the gaming community following its release, the recently announced Just Cause 3 won't launch with any sort of mode.
Avalanche CCO and co-founder Christofer Sundberg confirmed this news to Game Informer, saying:
The mod is absolutely fantastic. 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.
Maybe sometime down the line, we'll take Rico into the modern world of multiplaying.
Are you disappointed by the lack of multiplayer support at launch, or are you glad Avalanche is focused on just making a great single-player experience?
