Check out more of Just Cause 3’s high-flying action in these new, leaked screenshots

By Will Fulton February 2, 2015

A new batch of screenshots from Just Cause 3 has popped up, despite no official release from Square Enix or Avalanche, compiled here on NeoGAF.

In line with what we’ve seen thus far from the open world adventure/physics sandbox, the action looks magnificently over-the-top — in only one of the ten new images does protagonist Rico Rodriguez have his feet planted firmly on the ground. In the remaining nine, Rico is standing on top of trucks or jets, gliding around in a wingsuit, or trailing behind airborne vehicles with his grappling hook.

This long-anticipated sequel to Just Cause 2 is set on a fictional Mediterranean island which you must wrest from a brutal dictator. The landmass is supposedly about the same size as that of the previous game, but there’s more detail, allowing players to explore deep caves and climb tall buildings with greater freedom than ever before.

The fan favorite grappling hook is back with a new and improved physics engine, and it is joined by a new wingsuit for even more high-flying shenanigans. If you’ve ever wanted to tie a fighter jet to a helicopter mid-air and then leap and glide away to safety when they explode, this is the game for you.

Just Cause 3 is set to arrive later in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
