Set in the fictional South American world of Solis, Just Cause 4 takes the series' incredible destruction and physics to a new level with the introduction of tornadoes and other extreme weather events. Just Cause 4 has four distinct biomes: Alpine, Desert, Grasslands and Rainforest. With each biome offering its own individual, fully simulated weather event, players will have a distinct experience as they traverse this diverse world.

Rico Rodriguez returns in Just Cause 4 with his trademark parachute, wingsuit and grapple hook, now fully customizable and with enhanced functionality.

In order to provide more information on what to expect from the game, Square Enix & Avalanche are excited to share the first five videos in our “Just Cause 4 Making Of” series, which originally aired as part of the Just Cause E3 Blowout Livestream at E3.

Straight from the mouths of the developers, this series delivers key, new information as well as detailing all of the most impressive new features in Just Cause 4.

Apex Power

Named upon the concept of an Apex being a pinnacle or peak, the team at Avalanche discuss the new Apex Engine, built from the ground up to enable them to create the most dynamic installment of the Just Cause series with best-in class features.

Force of Nature

The team explain how Rico, a force of nature in his own right, will work through and with the elements of tornadoes, sandstorms and torrential rain, and detail the simulation systems necessary for allowing extreme weather the perfect combination of realism and fun.

The Grapple Hook

The embodiment of Rico is the grappling hook, the ultimate sandbox tool. Not only can it still achieve the same explosive destruction that players had in previous titles, it also now has new abilities, new options, and is fully customisable.

Redefining Rico

A best in class sandbox with unrivalled physics would be nothing without a hero to match. A new challenge awaits for Rico, he has left the agency and gone rogue. He returns in Just Cause 4 with more depth and complexity, but is no less the action hero fans have come to expect.

The World of Solis

The team explains how they created 500 years of backstory to inspire the world design and narrative, from colonial style original settlers to contemporary buildings.

The new Apex engine delivers the most interactive, extreme weather simulations in a video game, complemented by incredible visuals, unparalleled physics and endless creative possibilities.
