Will Contraband be one of those absent from the next Xbox Game Showcase? The latest information points to an internal delay that would result in his absence from the Xbox lounge.
Two years ago, Microsoft introduced us to a new exclusive: Contraband, a new game from Avalanche Studios. It is true that they left honey on our lips, since we only saw a small teaser that gave us some clues about what we could expect. However, during this time, we've had next to no news from the game, beyond a dev diary with little in-game material and the studio's search for a producer.
Something that seems to continue to be the case at least for a while, since it looks like the game won't be at the Xbox Game Showcase on June 11.

If true, Contraband would not appear in a presentation that will mainly focus on the releases closest to the company, with titles like Starfield or Forza Motorsport in the showcase, and the more than likely presence of Fable. With that, there is still time for us to take advantage of this proposition that many have compared to Sea of Thieves, but more focused on traditional action with a big load playable in infiltration, as the study indicated. few months ago.
