The series focuses on large open worlds and highly destructible environments, with an emphasis on physics-based gameplay, largely through the use of series protagonist Rico Rodriguez's signature grappling hook and "stunt" maneuvers.

Just Cause 3 Plot and Story
Just Cause 3 is set on the fictional Mediterranean island of Medici, birthplace of franchise hero Rico "The Scorpion" Rodriguez. The small republic has come under the despotic rule of a ruthless dictator known only as General DiRavello.
Rico must return to his homeland and liberate the island's inhabitants by systematically dismantling DiRavello's regime and restoring democratic peace to the region - through any means necessary.
Just Cause 3 Gameplay
Keeping the core mechanics of the Just Cause series, gameplay will mostly revolve around Rico journeying across the island destroying military encampents and outposts. Causing this chaos will destabalize DiRavello's forces and allow the citizens of Medici to begin reclaiming their land. The new wingsuit combined with the parachute, is a powerful new tool to help you traverse the massive open world.
Just Cause 3 Combat
Rico will have access to a full suite of weapons, as he has in past games, though the most important item in his armory remains his signature Grappling Hook. In Just Cause 2, he was able to use the grapple to tether enemies and vehicles together - but in JC3, the grapple has been upgraded to allow Rico to tie multiple objects together, as well as adjust the wire's tension on command. This means he can tether one enemy to another and retract the wire, slamming the two together - or connect a helicopter to a building and send it crashing into the side.
The Game World in Just Cause 3
The fictional island of Medici is located somewhere in the Mediterranean sea, which gives the locale a warm and sun-soaked aesthetic. The island is allegedly over 400 square miles in size and will feature subterranean areas and building interiors, which would make it far larger in scale that JC2's isle of Panau.
Just Cause 3 Multiplayer
Developers at Avalanche Studios have yet to officially deny built-in multiplayer for Just Cause 3, though it's highly unlikely that such a feature will be included. CCO Christofer Sundberg says, "It’s tough to make it fit with the Just Cause IP," and that the studio instead wanted to focus on perfecting the sandbox fun of the game's single-player. Game Director Roland Lesterlin went on to mention that, “If we were going to progress with something in that field, then we’d have to start with something like that in mind.”
However, in regards to the overwhelming community support for the Just Cause 2 Multiplayer Mod, Sundberg added, “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.”
From the Developer of Just Cause 3:
"Set in the sun-drenched Mediterranean island republic of Medici, a land crumbling under the ruthless rule of General Di Ravello, you take control of series’ hero Rico Rodriguez, a man on a mission to liberate his homeland and the people of Medici…by any means necessary. With over 400 square miles of complete freedom from sky to seabed and a huge arsenal of weaponry, gadgets and vehicles, prepare to unleash chaos in the most creative and explosive ways you can imagine."
