"Just Cause 3" will be bringing players into a world filled with plenty of action as well as massive explosions.

Players will soon find out that the game, set to be released on Dec. 1, is not just one that encourages widespread destruction, but one that even rewards gamers for how well they destroy the world they are in.

According to NDTV, one particular aspect of "Just Cause 3," known as the Challenge Mission, is specifically designed to reward players for the amount of destruction they are able to carry out.

A Challenge Mission can require a player to do all sorts of crazy tasks with the goal of destroying as many things as possible, such as running rampant through places while riding massive tanks. The more destruction the player is able to cause, the better it will be for them as they will accumulate a higher score for the Challenge Mission.

The high scores players can claim from these Challenge Missions are not just for show either as they can be used to unlock mods within "Just Cause 3." The mods themselves are more about providing an even more memorably enjoyable experience as people play "Just Cause 3," giving them reasons to complete the Challenge Missions.

In related news, "Just Cause 3" developer Avalanche Studios is in talks to work with the team behind "Final Fantasy 15" to help implement better flight mechanics into the latter game, according to Tech Times.

"Final Fantasy 15" Director Hajime Tabata was the one to confirm the news that they were looking to work with Avalanche Studios. Tabata said they want to work with Avalanche Studios in part to learn more about how they can better develop airships in their game.

Tabata was hesitant to raise fans' expectations, suggesting nothing is guaranteed to come out of their talks with Avalanche Studios, although he did indicate that both parties have high expectations for the planned collaboration.
