Avalanche Studios, the developer of the "Just Cause" series, once created a third-party game "Contraband" for Xbox, but it was axed along with multiple games during Xbox's layoffs in July this year.

"Contraband" was first announced in 2021. It was officially described as a "cooperative smuggling paradise" set in the 1970s. Although the concept sounds indeed interesting, there has been little news over the years.Aside from rumors that playtests were well received, we've never learned many details about the project, let alone anything official, other than that first trailer.

Fortunately, foreign media MP1ST has exclusively obtained screenshots of the game, which include concept art, character designs, and simulations of the game menu.

The screenshot comes from the online resume of an artist engaged in the development of the game. This artist is responsible for developing the game UI interface, such as match matching, showing a high degree of stylization.

Now, based on the user interface, Smuggling appears to be a four-player co-op game.Additionally, there appears to be a progression system based on different criminal levels (such as "liar", "robber", "smuggler" or "tycoon").

We can also see a map called "Downtown", which depicts a street at night with shops lined with neon lights, creating a rich night atmosphere, which is very suitable for smuggling activities.

While these images mainly show the user interface design, we can also get a glimpse of the in-game scenes.Even though it's just a blurry background for a menu, it makes out what appears to be a dimly lit safehouse with crates and boxes stacked inside.Considering it appears at the back of the recruitment menu, it's a strong hint that this location may have been a major hub or point of interest for players.

After the cancellation of Contraband, Avalanche Studios went through a major internal restructuring, including closing its Liverpool office and laying off other teams.This difficult situation makes people worry about the future of Avalanche Studios and what kind of games they will bring us next.
