Microsoft has ended 'active development' on Contraband
Microsoft has halted active development on Contraband, an open-world co-op game being developed by Avalanche Studios. The game was first teased at E3 2021, but little has been heard about it since. Avalanche has stated that development has been stopped while the project's future is evaluated. This news comes amid broader changes at Microsoft, which has announced significant job cuts, including in the gaming division. Several other planned projects have also been reported to have been canceled or shut down, including Everwild from Rare, the Perfect Dark reboot from The Initiative, and an unnamed FPS from Romero Games. The layoffs and project cancellations are part of Microsoft's efforts to consolidate its gaming business.
