Details about Contraband are still lacking and, according to rumors, there are certainly – unfortunately very serious – reasons for this.
Contraband from Avalanche Studios was announced back in 2021. Since then, the title has remained extremely quiet, even considering the many reports and rumors surrounding the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase.
According to Jez Corden of Windows Central, there are good reasons for this, as Contraband is suffering from massive problems in development. Rumors say that the title is still reeling from the effects of the pandemic and that key personnel have left the project.
Although these are rumors, this would at least explain why Contraband was initially postponed from 2022 to 2023 and now to 2024 – but a release date is still missing.
