It seems that fans of the destruction of dictatorships in solar countries will have to wait for a new part of their favorite franchise for some time. Information surfaced on the network: Just Cause 5 really was in development – and has already managed to turn into a dead project.
Information appeared in the profile of a former employee Sumo digital. He indicated that from 2021 to 2023 he led the development of a system of transport in a game from the series Just CAUSE. Later, apparently, the project was closed.
Indirect confirmation appeared in Gxspincasino.co.uk 2021: then Sumo Actively looking for employees for the project in the "famous AAA Franchise with the Open World". The description was perfectly suitable precisely Just CAUSE.
Interestingly, she worked on a new Just CAUSE Not at all Avalanche Studios, which used to make all parts of the series. Apparently, Square Enix, which owns the rights to the franchise, decided to transfer development to the side.
Why the game was canceled – it is not known exactly. There is a version that the development of a deal with a deal with Tencent: The Chinese company bought Sumo Group in 2022. After such mergers, projects often go to the table.
Despite the cancellation Just Cause 5, Square Enix continues to remind the series. Recently it became known that the screenwriter of the series "Jack Ryan" Aaron Rabin (Aaron Rabin) is working on film adaptation Just CAUSE. So, the brand has not yet been written off-and the new part of the adventures of Rico Rodriguez may well ever see the light.
