Just Cause 3 is not free-to-play and will not feature in-game microtransactions, Avalanche has stressed.
The developer’s clarification follows last week’s leaked screenshots which appeared to suggest that the upcoming ‘chaotic sandbox’ would be heavily monetised by microtransactions. But these screenshots, Avalanche claims, were taken from an “ancient version” of the game.
“Like most games, [Just Cause 3] went through an exploratory phase where we looked at different control schemes, different technologies, different business models,” Avalanche co-founder Christofer Sundberg explained. “Those leaked screenshots show aspects of that process, and in no way reflect the game we are making today.
“To be perfectly clear: Just Cause 3 will be available in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC,” he added. “It will be distributed as a retail box and digital download. It is not a Free To Play game. It does not feature in-game micro transactions.”
But there will “likely” be DLC, Sundberg adds.
“Beyond launch, we are likely to look into DLC packs and items as part of our ambition to support Just Cause 3 and its players for many years to come, but until that time we’re completely focused on making the best Just Cause game we possibly can,” he continued. “Rest assured it will be a huge, fully packed and extremely rewarding experience right out of the gate.”
Just Cause 3 was formally announced by Square Enix last night.
