In order to gather intel, Rodriguez goes under the alias of a mercenary, Scorpio, dealing with the island’s three feuding gangs in exchange for information. The island is under strict military regime, specifically the control of the Kim Jong like ego-tripper Baby Panay, and the social stability of this scenic paradise is well into the red. He arrives at the fictional South Asian island of Panau under orders to track down a missing operative who his handlers think may have gone rogue.

As a follow up to Eidos’ cult sandbox title Just Cause, Just Cause 2 hopes to pile drive the franchise into the spotlight. Swinging from the bars, jumping from medium heights, and throwing pebbles when no one is looking. We’re playing, we’re having fun, goofing in a jungle gym.
