Just Cause 3 story trailer: allies, explosives, and General Di Ravello

Square Enix and Avalanche Studios laid out Just Cause 3’s story in this trailer — the best snapshot of what the third installment is actually about, beyond the grappling-hook stunts.

The video introduces Rico’s allies, shows off the weapons and explosives you will be abusing across the island, and sketches the stakes: General Di Ravello’s army stripping the Republic of Medici bare in an obsessive pursuit of its energy resources.

Just Cause 3 launched December 1 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and it remains one of the purest open-world destruction toys of its generation. Physical copies of Just Cause 3 are easy to track down if you missed it.
