About Just Cause 4

Set in the fictional South American world of Solis, JUST CAUSE 4 takes the series incredible destruction and unique physics to a whole new level with the introduction of tornadoes and other Extreme Weather events. JUST CAUSE 4 has four distinct biomes: Rainforest, Grasslands, Alpine & Desert. With each biome offering its own individual, fully simulated weather event, players will have a truly unique experience as they traverse this deep, diverse world. Rico Rodriguez returns in JUST CAUSE 4 with his trademark parachute, wingsuit and, of course his grapple hook, now enhanced with new functionality and fully customisable. Making it the most powerful and creative tool the player has ever had.

When Rico Rodriguez is shown evidence that his late father once worked with the Black Hand, the world's most powerful private army, he travels to Solis, a fictional South American nation wracked by extreme weather and long serving as the mercenaries' homeland. There he confronts the Black Hand and its leader, Gabriela Morales, determined to uncover the truth about his father's past. The same ruthless army once served dictators in Rico's earlier campaigns, and now he plunges into their heartland alone, searching for answers. Across the storm-battered landscapes of Solis, Rico must take the fight to the Black Hand while unraveling the secrets that tie his own family to the organization he has spent his life opposing.
