Square Enix has officially announced the cancellation of Just Cause: Mobile, a mobile game that faced numerous delays and a limited regional early access program.
Just Cause: Mobile was initially revealed alongside a new Hitman game at The Game Awards in 2021. Marketed as a free-to-play action shooter set in the Just Cause universe, it promised features such as 30-person competitive modes, four-player co-op, and a single-player option.
However, the game encountered several issues, particularly with its release schedule. Despite initially aiming for a 2021 launch, Square Enix was only able to release the game in Singapore as a regional early-access version. Subsequently, an indefinite delay was announced at the end of last year, and in February 2022, all regional early access was terminated.
Square Enix confirmed the cancellation of Just Cause: Mobile, expressing regret to fans who had been anticipating its release. Brand lead Anne-Lou Grosbois-Favreau stated that the game would be removed from digital stores starting from July 3, 2023. She also mentioned that any Blue Diamonds purchased during the regional early access period have been fully refunded to players’ Google Play Accounts.
All social media accounts associated with Just Cause: Mobile have been taken down, leaving no trace of the game’s existence.
Despite the cancellation of Just Cause: Mobile, fans of the franchise can look forward to the development of Just Cause 5, although there is no confirmed release date for the game at this time.
