Fans shocked as big budget game is cancelled before its release – and it’s a Just Cause game

AN UPCOMING game from the Just Cause franchise has been cancelled before it was ever released.

First announced in December 2020, it was originally set to be released in 2021.

However, with no release date set Square Enix has finally cancelled the game before we got to play it.

Just Cause Mobile was originally delayed until 2022 apparently due to the pandemic.

However, it was originally launched in December 2021 as an early access release.

The Just Cause series is best known for its console releases, but people were excited to play it on the go.

A statement released by Square Enix reads: “Today, we have important news about Just Cause Mobile. 

“It is with great sadness that we are announcing the end of development for Just Cause Mobile. 

“As of tomorrow, 3 July 2023, the game will no longer appear on digital stores. 

“It is never easy to put forth an announcement of this nature, especially to our fans who have been awaiting the release. 

“We sincerely appreciate the support you have given us.”

The Just Cause Mobile website has now been shut down and people are no longer able to download the game.

It promised an “action-packed story campaign” and up to 30 person competitive multiplayer, as well as four-player co-op missions.

The Just Cause series launched in 2006, and the last mainline entry was released in 2018 as Just Cause 4.

While these were available on both consoles and PC, Just Cause Mobile was supposed to be the first game from the series made specifically for mobile devices.

However, now that development has been cancelled, it is likely that another mobile game for the series will ever be made.
