Like a typhoon, developer Avalanche is sweeping in with a brand new game announcement for Xbox. Microsoft revealed Contraband today as part of its E3 2021 media briefing. The game has a 1970s style in a world where players need to work together to get out of dangerous situations.
Microsoft is publishing Contraband under its Xbox Global Publishing label. This is the team that handles first-party Xbox releases that come from external studios.
As part of E3 2021, Microsoft showed Contraband in a teaser trailer that attempted to set a mood with Steely Dan on the soundtrack.
