Just Cause 2 may have gotten multiplayer courtesy of a community mod extremely late in its life, but the game’s upcoming PlayStation 4 sequel won’t boast any competitive or co-operative play at launch. Christofer Sundberg, who’s the outspoken gaffer in charge of developer Avalanche Studios, confirmed the tidbit in an interview with Game Informer magazine.
“The mod is absolutely fantastic,” he enthused. “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.”
Of course, Sundberg wouldn’t rule out the possibility of some kind of online component being integrated in the future. “Maybe sometime down the line, we'll take Rico into the modern world of multiplaying,” he said. Is this something that you’re personally interested in, or is Just Cause all about the solo silliness for you? Jump out of a jet, and into the comments section below.

Good...games that acknowledge solo gaming as being important are getting rarer these days. Multiplayer being implemented later makes me hopeful that the main game is going to have had care and attention spent on it.
@Munkyknuts Yea, agreed. I really enjoyed JC2 so im excited for the third.
Good call. I'm more of a singleplayer game and I'm an even bigger fan of games not being broken upon release. This might help everything go better.
Modded multiplayer is what made Just Cause 2 a cult hit...How could they not see that?
Without that Just Cause is just an empty sandbox...Oh well, as long as they add it later on and give us enough to do in JC3's world.
JC2 was awesome, but the multiplayer made it a GOTY contender IMO, it was so cool
best sandbox game ever created THANKS to that mod
