Just Cause 3 might get cloud-based multiplayer after its release

In a discussion with Game Informer, Shinra Technologies’ Jacob Navok hinted at after-the-fact multiplayer in the recently announced Just Cause 3.

While Just Cause 3 won’t feature multiplayer at launch, Navok hinted that Shinra — a subsidiary of Square Enix focusing on cloud-based gaming — is working on a “possible future collaboration” with Avalanche Studios, developers of the game.

“What we see in the near future are cloud games that are developed from the ground up as well as games that are in an existing pipeline that we will enhance,” Navok said before presenting an oddly-specific hypothetical situation. “For example, taking a game that doesn’t have multiplayer right now and easily giving it multiplayer is what we imagine for enhancements.”

Game Informer asked Navok if Just Cause 3 would be that game, to which he responded, “I think it does make a lot of sense.”
