'Just Cause 3' Preorders Come With A Chance to Win A Real Island (VIDEO)
Square Enix has just announced they will be giving away an entire island to a lucky winner who preorders its upcoming "Just Cause 3."
With just four months to go before Avalanche Studios' action-adventure "Just Cause 3" launches, publisher Square Enix is offering up an island to a lucky gamer who preorders the third title in the "Just Cause" series.
With "Fallout 4's" Pip Boy being the most extravagant goodie any game publisher has offered to its players until now, Square Enix appears to want to top the offer a million times over by raffling off a real island.
Giving away middle-of-the-sea real estate may make sense as the upcoming title is also set on a virtual island where players are free to wreck havoc, shooting at enemy soldiers, driving vehicles off cliff roads, and blowing up military compounds, while parachuting to various locations.
According to the game's preorder guidelines, players desiring an island of their own must preorder a "Just Cause 3" Day 1 Edition for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
Subsequently, they will be given three months (90 days) to win as many Chaos Points as possible to up their chances of winning. The lucky player whose name tops the leaderboard when the content ends will win an island paradise to call their own.
While the offer's official rules states that any player who purchases the Day 1 Edition is eligible to enter the contest, Square Enix is promoting preorders to ensure players get to own a proper version of "Just Cause 3."
The player who wins the island will shoulder the responsibility of paying the taxes and fees that come with owning a such a piece of real estate, which has been described as "not guaranteed to be habitable, developed, or reachable by any means other than a boat."
On the other hand, the winner may also opt to claim a $50,000 prize money equivalent instead.
"Just Cause 3's" Island Competition is scheduled to begin on December 1 when the game launches, and will end 90 days after, on February 29, 2016.
