Avalanche announced its newest game, Contraband, at Xbox’s E3 2021 livestream. It’s the latest title from the Just Cause team. The trailer describes it as a co-op, open world game set in a fictional version of the 1970s. Just Cause and Xbox Games Studios will launch it on Xbox Series X and Windows PC. Game Pass players can play Contraband for free on launch day.
Based on the trailer, Contraband is all about heists. When the trailer opens, we see some 70s technology scattered around tables. Then the video pans over to a table with a heist map depicting the “Sun River Job.” The treasure seems to be a private safe in the shape of a red, stylish box.
Later in the trailer, we see a broken down jeep, covered in mud, and a crew member trying to fix it. On top of the jeep, there’s the safe we saw earlier, suggesting the “Sun River Job” was a success.
Avalanche didn’t offer a release window for Contraband.
