Having shot to the top of the All Formats All Prices video game chart in the UK, developer Avalanche has expressed its delight in the game’s success and spoken of a desire to work on a third game in the series.
“We couldn’t be happier, it’s been amazing for us,” studio head Christofer Sundberg told Develop.
“As a studio we have proven that we can deliver what we actually say we can [laughs]. Also, for us it means a lot to succeed in this way, especially in terms of internal motivation with the staff, and the future of the whole studio.”
He added: “Just seeing all those review scores coming in was fantastic – especially from the sites that scored the first Just Cause a little bit lower than we hoped.”
Given the sequel’s success it seems likely the Just Cause franchise will continue and Sundberg hopes it will be developed by Avalanche.
“We are absolutely interested in working with the Just Cause IP again,” he said.
“I personally wrote the original pitch for the game in early 2003, so it’s something that means a lot for me and for the people in this studio.
“The studio lives and breathes the Just Cause franchise, and handing that over to another developer would spoil it. No one has the attachment to this IP as we do.”
