Check out more of Just Cause 3’s high-flying action in these new, leaked screenshots

A new batch of screenshots from Just Cause 3 has popped up, despite no official release from Square Enix or Avalanche, compiled here on NeoGAF.

In line with what we’ve seen thus far from the open world adventure/physics sandbox, the action looks magnificently over-the-top — in only one of the ten new images does protagonist Rico Rodriguez have his feet planted firmly on the ground. In the remaining nine, Rico is standing on top of trucks or jets, gliding around in a wingsuit, or trailing behind airborne vehicles with his grappling hook.

This long-anticipated sequel to Just Cause 2 is set on a fictional Mediterranean island which you must wrest from a brutal dictator. The landmass is supposedly about the same size as that of the previous game, but there’s more detail, allowing players to explore deep caves and climb tall buildings with greater freedom than ever before.

The fan favorite grappling hook is back with a new and improved physics engine, and it is joined by a new wingsuit for even more high-flying shenanigans. If you’ve ever wanted to tie a fighter jet to a helicopter mid-air and then leap and glide away to safety when they explode, this is the game for you.

Just Cause 3 is set to arrive later in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.

A new study has found that adults who play certain video games report feeling less lonely and more emotionally resilient than people who don't play games at all. The findings challenge the idea that gaming is just a way to escape from real life and instead tie specific kinds of games to real, measurable shifts in how people cope with stress and isolation.

Grand Theft Auto 5

With Grand Theft Auto 6 now just months away, Rockstar Games is giving longtime Grand Theft Auto 5 players a reason to revisit Los Santos.

The move comes as Rockstar ramps up excitement for GTA 6, which is currently scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Previously, upgrading from the older console versions to the current-generation release required a separate purchase, typically costing around $10. Beginning Thursday, however, eligible players will be able to move to the newer version at no additional cost.
