Square Enix registers Just Cause 4 domains; Just Cause 3 not yet released

Aside from 2011 rumors of a Just Cause 3 video game in development and a movie, there hasn’t been a whole lot of news lately about Just Cause.

That may be about to change as Square Enix has registered a slew of Just Cause 4 domain names on May 18, 2012, like JustCause4.com (Whois) and JustCause4.fr (Whois).

Through the internet brand protection firm Corporation Service Company, Square Enix not only picked up the dot-com, but also registered the same name in different country code extensions, as well as JustCause3.it.

The list of Just Cause 4 domains includes: JustCause4.com, JustCause4.fr, JustCause4.co.uk, JustCause4.de, and JustCause4.it.

As of today, there has been no official announcement by Square Enix regarding Just Cause 4. Then again, Just Cause 3 hasn’t even been released.

The latest registrations hint that “official” Just Cause news may be imminent, and as a defensive measure, Square Enix registered the Just Cause 4 names.

Two recent domain name registrations by Square Enix Limited suggest that a sequel to the action-adventure video game Mini Ninjas may be in the works.

According to Whois records, the youngest of all the mini ninjas may be embarking on a new quest called Hiro’s Adventure. On March 2, 2012, Square Enix Limited registered the domains HirosAdventure.com (Whois) and MiniNinjasHirosAdventure.com (Whois).

The original Mini Ninjas, which follows the main character Hiro as he sets out to stop the Evil Samurai Warlord, was first released in 2009 and has been well-received by critics, scoring an 8 out of a possible 10 according to GameRankings.

In December 2011, Square Enix announced it would be releasing Mini Ninjas on the browser using Google’s Chrome.

At the time of this story, Square Enix has not announced anything about a sequel and both domains resolve to a blank web page, not an active website.
