Have you gotten a chance to check out the Just Cause 2 demo? I personally haven’t but that doesn’t mean no one has. In fact, it was just announced that the demo has been downloaded a full 2 million times since its release. Avalanche Studios puts it in a more interesting way:

“Players have driven a distance equivalent to a trip from the earth to the moon and back four times; Panau Island has lost almost 30 million of its population (with approximately 2.5 million headshots, almost a million drivers hurled from hijacked vehicles and 27,000 Piñata kills); and players have base jumped the equivalent of a freefall through the Earth’s core, pole-to-pole, twice.”

Just Cause 2 will be out for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on March 23rd of this year.

We haven’t heard much out of Stockholm based Avalanche Studios since Just Cause 2‘s announcement but today brings some unfortunate news — The Swiss developement studio has announced that they have been forced to lay off 20 employees due to current economic conditions.

However, Avalanche CEO Christofer Sundberg assures us that these layoffs will not affect the studio’s projects with Just Cause 2 set to be showcased at next month’s E3. Oh yeah, it’s going to be big.
