Contraband Announced as New Co-Op Xbox Avalanche Studios IP

At the Xbox & Bethesda E3 2021 Showcase, Avalanche Studios and Xbox Game Studios provided an official announcement trailer (more like just a teaser) for Contraband, a “co-op smugglerā€™s paradise set in the fictional world of 1970s Bayan,” releasing on Xbox Series X | S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass. The cinematic trailer reveals little else, except that it’s an open-world game.

Former Managing Editor at The Escapist. I have been writing about video games since 2018 and editing writing on IT, project management, and video games for around a decade. I have an English degree, but Google was a more valuable learning resource. I taught English in South Korea for a year in 2018, and it was exponentially more fun than living in Pennsylvania. My major passions in life are SNES, Japanese RPGs, Berserk, and K-pop. I'm currently developing the game Boss Saga with my brother, which is guaranteed to change your life and you should buy it.
