Game Informer revealed that their December issue will feature Just Cause 3, the highly-anticipated game from Avalanche Studios:

In 2015, the beloved series returns with Just Cause 3 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. We got the chance to be the first people outside of the studio to play not just 10 or 20 minutes, but several hours of the game, set in a fictional Mediterranean archipelago. The time flew by as we tried out the vastly improved parachute and grapple mechanics, terrorized the latest dictator’s well-defended bases, and soared through the sky with the all-new wingsuit. Just Cause has never played this smoothly, and as you’ll see in the cover story launching digitally today, it’s never looked this good.

[Is Just Cause 3 free to play? Find out here.]

So excited for this! and its next gen only, yay! I had such a blast playing the first.

PS

looks like Nate Drake on the cover haha

 
Oh man, I cannot wait for this!  Since it's only just now being announced, it probably won't be out until late 2015.

Just Cause 2 was definitely some of the most fun I had last gen.  Absolutely a Day One buy for me, no question.

This is a video where the devs talk about what worked with the sandbox gameplay of Just Cause 2 and what they're doing with Just Cause 3 to make it better. In addition to the parachute/grapple method of travel, they're adding a wing suit that also works with the grapple to give you more ways to get around quickly. They admit to doing a bad job with the story in JC2 and think the story in JC3 will be much improved. As far as the levels of dumb fun they're aiming for with JC3, they say that JC2 was about 80% dumb fun and JC3 will be at around 70%. 

There's no gameplay for JC3 in the video, if you're wondering about that. It just has example gameplay of the multiplayer version of JC2 on PC with the same screenshots of JC3 that have been released with the cover story announcement.

There are three screenshots in the article along with some new bits of information:

  • JC3 takes place on Mediterranean island nation of Medici where another evil dictatorship has taken hold in Rico's home country.
  • It takes place several years after JC2, so Rico is much older this time around.
  • The wing suit lets you drop from great heights really fast.
  • They say the controls were a big focus and have been improved greatly, especially the vehicle controls that have been retooled by some former Criterion employees.
  • The map is a 400 square mile map broken into three main areas that you're free to explore from the start.
  • The liberation of towns and bases remains from JC2, though you can now use those liberated areas as fast travel points, places to help dissipate heat, or places to bank vehicles so that you can call them in as a supply drop later on.
