Avalanche Studios, the game developer, has released the trailer for "Sky Fortress," which features Rico wearing a jetpack, going straight up and shooting down drones in mid-air. The add-on gives the action hero additional fire power at his disposal. "Just Cause 3" players have missile rockets and a machine gun to engage those flying drones protecting their airborne installation.

The trailer also shows Rico, being the gung-ho-style action hero, charging head on, dodging every missile and bullet thrown at him by a multitude of drones and other airship defenses. At the end of the clip, Rico simply flies away while the air structure is being torn into bits and pieces by a series of explosions.
