Square Enix has announced the release date for Just Cause 2, sequel to the 2006 title from Eidos. Just Cause 2 will release in-stores on March 23rd, 2010, in North America for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Just Cause 2 promises even more of the open world action of the first title with over 400 square miles of South East Asian island landscapes.

“Just Cause 2 offers the freedom to explore and tackle the world in any way you choose”, said Lee Singleton, General Manager of Square Enix London Studios. “The grapple and the parachute mechanic will change the way you play open-world games, allowing players to be in the air in seconds, tackling missions from above and using the aerial advantage. If you prefer to stay on solid ground, the choices offered by the grapple are limited only by your imagination.”
