Coud a "Just Cause 3" PS4 release date happen this year?

According to Game Spot Avalanche Studios has revealed that the sequel to the hit game will be available come "holiday 2015."

The publication mentioned that the revelation came in the new Firestarter trailer where hero Rico Rodriguez was seen in action for "Just Cause 3" PS4 gameplay.

In addition to the said revelation IGN posted on their website the "Just Cause 3" PS4 release date is indeed happening this year. 

And while fans are patiently waiting for the action game to be shipped, the independent AAA game developer confirmed that a new offline mode has been made available for the upcoming game, PCGames.de reported. 

"We want to make the game accessible to as many people as possible," game director Roland Lesterlin said when asked about the offline mode. "Absolutely." 

However, while fans can now enjoy "Just Cause 3" even without internet connection come release date, Avalanche has said to sacrifrice the multi-player mode of the game.

"The mod is absolutely fantastic," Avalanche co-founder Chritofer Sundberg told Game Spot. "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, and we want to deliver a great Just Cause 3 experience." 

Furthermore in a separate interview with IGN  Sundberg explained as to why they decided to let go of the multiplayer mode feature.

"It's tough to make it fit with the Just Cause IP," Sundberg explained. "For us, the sandbox has always been the focus, and that's where we can really shine. I think that's where we can improve a lot on the game. Adding a layer of multiplayer when you're not really sure?"

"The [Just Cause 2 PC] multiplayer mod got away with so much that we never could with bugs and stuff. It's so chaotic, and that's what makes it fun. But we could never do something like that, release it, and expect people to pay for it."

Adding, "We were taken by surprise with the Just Cause 2 multiplayer mod, and we hope they'll look at JC3 the same way. Obviously we're more...prepared this time, and we can offer more support to the community. We love them."
