Just Cause 3 director Roland Lesterlin is not ruling out the possibility of officially adding multiplayer to the game in the future.

"We did talk about it a lot," said Lesterlin when asked by GameSpot about adding in multiplayer. "The modding community even created a multiplayer mod for Just Cause 2 that was super fun, really cool. The same way that Just Cause 2 was known as a beautiful sandbox in a giant open world, and it surprised many people that consoles could even do that, we wanted to have that same experience... with updated physics and player mechanics, and concentrate first and foremost in the main player."

The ability to share videos and stream Just Cause 3 is an important part of the game, according to Lesterlin, and Avalanche hopes gamers will share their experiences.

"What we found was that a lot of players loved sharing videos of what they did," added Lesterlin. "So we wanted to work on the asynchronous side of things. The challenges, ghost mode within leaderboards, being able to challenge your friends to beat feats you did in the world. Having these great PS4 Share feature and the Xbox upload feature, and Steam now has a spectator mode too."

"Having all these things in there feels perfect for a Just Cause game. It doesn't mean we wouldn't think about what to do with multiplayer in the future, but for this first time around we wanted to pour all our love and energy into a great single-player sandbox to start with."

Just Cause 3 releases on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC on December 1st.
