Next-gen development is officially happening at Just Cause studio

It was announced last November that Avalanche was working on something codenamed ‘Project Mamba’ – a triple-A title for PC and console, and with a projected 2014 release, but no more details have been offered since.

Earlier this year, Square Enix registered domains for Just Cause 3 and 4, prompting rumours that work was underway at Avalanche on a new title for the Just Cause series (and prompting us to write a ‘What we want to see in Just Cause 3’ feature.
