'Just Cause 3' release news: gameplay demo reveals challenge modes

Wikipedia

Game company Square Enix finally released the video of the playable demo of "Just Cause 3" for those who were not able to attend the Gamescom 2015 convention early this month. The video shows some of the challenge modes that will be featured in the upcoming installment in the action-adventure open world video game series.

One of the modes shown in the video is called the Sirocco Sky Tour. Players are allowed to control the game's protagonist named Rico Rodriguez while wearing a wing-suit in this mode. To score points in the game, players have to race against time while having to pass through a set of colored rings. They can get higher scores if they get through the middle of each ring, as well as by flying closer to the ground. 

Then, the video shows the game modes that can cause destruction for the opponents. It demonstrates the player's ability to destroy an area in the map called Vigilator Sud. In the demo, the player is equipped with infinite RPGs to destroy. A small timer set at 1:30 can be seen in the video, but gets activated only when the base is fully destroyed. In the demo video, a large radar dish that contains eight rockets are used to completely obliterate the area. 

The events in "Just Cause 3" is set after the events that happened in "Just Cause 2," when Rico left The Agency to return and save Medici, his homeland in the Mediterranean, from the hands of the tyrant named General Di Ravello. In order to thwart Di Ravello's evil plans to rule the world, Rico must use all the skills that he learned from The Agency when he first defeated two other dictators in the previous installments in the franchise.

"Just Cause 3" is slated for release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC editions on Dec. 1.
