The fourth – and penultimate – entry in the Just Cause 3 Dev Diary series takes a look at the story and missions driving Just Cause 3’s story.

In Just Cause 3, Rico Rodriguez returns to his homeland – the Mediterranean island of Medici. Far from the paradise it might appear on the surface, Medici is ruled by the dictator General Di Ravello, who uses the island’s resources to further his plans of world domination. Thankfully, Rico is no stranger to removing tyrannous dictators from power, and takes charge of the rebellion.

The developers of Just Cause 3, after some criticism about the goofiness of Just Cause 2’s story, have had to strike the right balance between the inherent silliness of a game where you can grapple two jumbo jets together and fly them into an oil derrick with the fact that their tale deals with dictators, oppressed peoples and a massive death count in the name of revolution.

Watch the dev diary below and look out for the final JC3 developer diary very soon, as we fast approach December.
