Square Enix Promotes “Just Cause 3” With Island Giveaway
To Quote: “Yes, it’s an actual, real-life island”
Square Enix announced on Aug 25, 2015 the “Just Cause 3 Win an Island Competition”, a real-life island giveaway to promote the upcoming release of their game “Just Cause 3”.
According to Square Enix, the contest is open for “North American players who pre-order the Just Cause 3 Day 1 edition”. Players who receive a contest entry code must go to the contest website and follow the instructions for creating a Square Enix account ID. The players must then provide a Playstation Network or an XBox Live account in order to participate. The competition will begin on the game’s launch at Dec 1, 2015 and will last for 90 days, ending on Feb 29, 2016.
Once the player is registered, they must “demonstrate their skill by achieving the highest number of ‘Chaos Points’ in Just Cause 3”. In order to score points, players must utilize “Rico Rodriguez’s collection of guns, bombs, vehicles and his faithful grappling hook to wreak havoc all over the in-game island of Medici”. The player with the highest points at the end of the contest period will win the island, valued at approximately $50,000 USD. In the event of a tie, Square Enix will “enter the top scoring entries into a random drawing to determine the Grand Prize Winner.”
The location of the island has not been disclosed yet at the time of writing.
