Looks like Square Enix hopes to see a return on that Eidos investment sooner rather than later; the publisher announced this morning that Just Cause 2 will be hitting store shelves on March 23, 2010 — just before the end of the fiscal year, incidentally.
Along with Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, Just Cause 2 will be among the first major Eidos properties to come out of the company following this year’s acquisition by Square Enix. Will it make a bigger splash than the original Just Cause? Developer Avalanche Studios has had over three years since the first game released, so it should be interesting to see what they’ve learned since then.
