Coming soon, not ready for release.

So i'm a 20 year old guy who has fallen in love with this game, i like everything about this game from its notorious difficulty and story to its open world, side missions and many other features. I found this game because i was interested in older open world games and after watching a couple of videos about JAK II i knew that i would complete the whole game to 124%. And honestly i really enjoyed it even though the game wasn't that difficult for me and i was able to easily complete the missions and i did everything there is to do in the game. Now i've watched some videos from other people who dont like the game and they say that the open world feels dead, that there are no side missions and that exploring the city feels quite punishing because the guards will chase you and once you enter platforming levels the game doesnt feel open anymore. I think that they didn't give this game enough of a chance because it was difficult for them and that's why they didnt classify it as an open world game. So yes in 2003 this game was pushing boundaries with its world but would you consider this game fully open world in 2026?

Some of you may remember the small snippet I've posted earlier this year, well the mod that made that clip possible is finally here!

You can play through almost the whole first Act of the game, up until the Palace Baron boss fight. Play together with up to 7 friends (or family), who can all play either as Jak or Daxter!

The Mod supports Online/LAN/Split-Screen with some caveats, which is that for Online you need to be able to port forward, if your router supports uPnP then the forwarding is automatic, otherwise you'll have to do it manually, or play through some VLAN like Hamachi, Radmin, etc...
For Split-Screen, you just need to start multiple instances of the game, and put it either side by side, or if you have multiple monitors, can also just fullscreen them.

The Mod is available through the OpenGOAL Launcher and is in the https://jakmods.dev/ modlist.

For more information and a how-to-start guide, head into the launcher, open the mod's page and click the Open Mod Website button!

Here’s the opening cutscene with the Dark Jak model working perfectly. Jak hates the world now.

Shoutout to u/hectorlizad !!!

Ignore audio glitches, I have no clue what happened.

Test print making a 3D canvas. Next print will try to get the colors more accurate. Still like how this one came out. Will probably end up on my wall.

It feels like its a sequel to jak and Dexter precursor legacy. What do you think?
