Hands-on with the zany Just Cause 3: Mech Land Assault DLC

Square Enix and Avalanche Studios are unveiling the next installment of downloadable content for the Just Cause 3 silly shooter game that debuted last fall. Just Cause 3: Mech Land Assault debuts in early June.

The DLC is aimed at keeping the excitement going for Just Cause 3, which is one of the more creative shooters to hit the market in recent years. It’s like Grand Theft Auto for tropical island warfare, and now the new DLC introduces a new mech assault vehicle that produces hilarious results. I played Mech Land Assault hands-on at a recent Square Enix event.
