Square Enix’s Just Cause Mobile, a free-to-play title based on the open-world action-adventure franchise, is officially cancelled. Announced at The Game Awards 2020 for iOS and Android and eventually released for early access in 2021, but only for Singapore. Though it reached other countries, the full release faced several delays before early regional access was closed last February.
Just Cause global brand lead Anne-Lou Grosbois-Favreau told VGC, “It is with great sadness that we are announcing the end of development for Just Cause Mobile. As of July 3rd 2023, the game will no longer appear in 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.”
Refunds were issued on February 24th to players who purchased any Blue Diamonds (the in-game currency). For Square Enix, it’s yet another cancelled mobile title alongside Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier and Bravely Default: Brilliant Lights.
As for other entries in the franchise, former Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda confirmed last year that a new title was in development. However, there have been no updates regarding its platforms, release window or even if Avalanche Studios Group, which worked on all the previous entries, is involved. Stay tuned for any updates.
