News: The first content pack for season pass holders is coming out on March 8 with everyone else being able to get it beginning March 15.

Square Enix is releasing their first content pack for Just Cause 3 next week. “Sky Fortress” will be available for all holders of the Air, Land and Sea Expansion Pass. If you have not purchased that pass then you will be able to purchase “Sky Fortress” a la carte beginning on March 15.

Sky Fortress contains a brand new set of missions that introduce a new threat – the eDEN Corporation and their huge and terrifying Sky Fortress, with its army of deadly robotic drones. To tackle his deadly new adversary, Rico Rodriguez will use a new upgradeable, rocket-powered, weaponised ‘Bavarium Wingsuit’ fitted with shoulder mounted machine guns and auto targeting missiles - alongside his new ‘Eviction’ personal defence drone and ‘Bavarium Splitter’ assault rifle, all of which can be carried over into the main game.

“The new content will fundamentally alter how our players approach the game - we’re really looking forward to seeing how fans adapt to the new Wingsuit,” said Tobias Andersson, Senior Producer at Avalanche Studios. “The new story missions, challenges and gadgets that can be taken into the main game really mix things up, and we can’t wait for players to revisit Medici and start getting even more creative."

The Sky Fortress pack will be priced at $11.99 / €11.99 / £9.49 whilst the AIR, LAND & SEA Expansion Pass is available for $24.99 / €24.99 / £19.99. All three content packs will be available before the end of summer 2016 and released one week early to Expansion Pass holders.

In preparation for the new content, the main game will also be receiving a new update on Friday March 4th that includes the following fixes:

Reduced initial loading time and in-game loading screens by 20-50%

Fixed several memory leaks resulting in crashes

Reduced a number of random crashes

Improved streaming of game world

Some performance optimizations related to hitches and stuttering

Implemented DLC system in preparation of the Air, Land and Sea packages
