Already at work on Contraband, Avalanche Studios will reveal a new project in 2022. The Swedish developer has been working since last year on a game still kept secret. Only certainty, it will not be a racing game!
An unprecedented license for Avalanche
It is Paul Rustchynsky, Game Designer of the studio, who confides this information on Twitter. On his account, the man posted a photo of the new Liverpool premises, adding in passing that an announcement would be made soon.
In 2021 we (Avalanche Studios Group) opened a new studio in Liverpool, an exciting time for me, having achieved one of my career goals.
In 2022 we will have the opportunity to announce the game we have been working on since last year.
Difficult to be more direct even if no details are obviously shared. However, further down in the thread, “Rushy” clarifies that this is a brand new license. This one is not Contraband, the Xbox exclusive announced at E3 2021, and will not be a racing game either.
We’re working on another new IP that’s yet to be announced. There are more projects being worked on at Avalanche than most people would expect!

And other ongoing projects
This new information could well contain another. Still according to Paul Rustchynsky, the creators of Just Cause Where Second Extinction still have other projects underway. The Game Designer ensures that the teams are working on more games than we could imagine.
We are working on another new IP which has yet to be announced. There are more projects going on at Avalanche than most people realize!
Could a new episode of Just Cause be in the works for the next generation of home consoles? Or are they still new licenses? The bets are now open and we can’t wait to know more. Decidedly, this year 2022 promises to be exciting!
