Anticipations regarding the new co-op heist from the Just Cause famed Avalanche Studios are rising day by day. This title is going to be perfect for you and the boys, as it supports up to eight players. Despite its announcement in 2021, there has been no solid update from the developers yet, so fans are disappointed.
Now the disappointment might get bigger, as Avalanche Studios might have put their hands on another “cutting-edge AAA open-world game”. In the absence of any release news for Contraband, fans are not taking the news of this new title in a good way.
The Studio Behind Just Cause Puts Up a New Job Listing
Recently, the studio rolled out a job posting on its website for the position of a Gameplay Animator for a new AAA title, first spotted by GEEKINOUT. According to the job description, candidates have to “bring to life characters controlled in the third person and idealize NPC movements, performances, and behaviors.”

Now, people can think this position might be for Contraband. But separate job postings for that game have already been put up there. So, it means the new AAA title is not this game; it’s something else.
Not only that, but there is also another job posting as well where the studio is seeking a Senior Producer. Now the interesting part is that, in the job description, “exciting new top AAA titles” is mentioned once again. The description also demanded the requirement of “having a passion for playing and making open-world action games.”

Despite the new job listing, fans are absolutely not happy with the decision to jump into another title. All they want is a solid update from the company.
What We Know About the Upcoming Heist Game
Announced in the Xbox and Bethesda E3 2021 showcase, Contraband is going to be a co-op game for PC and Xbox Series X/S. As per the collaboration between Avalanche and Xbox Game Studios, the game will be available on Game Pass Day 1. As an Xbox exclusive, PlayStation fans will be exempt from this exciting title.
Like the Just Cause titles, this upcoming game will also be based on the next generation of the Apex Engine. The game director, Omar Shakir, has teased us with a couple of pieces of information regarding the game: “co-op smuggler’s paradise” and “the most ambitious and spectacular game.”
The studio is looking for something big with their new cutting-edge AAA open-world game. However, fans just want a real update on Contraband.
