Contraband it just was registered from Microsoftto be precise, the trademark is of 2 June, and this could mean that the game will be present at theXbox & Bethesda Games Showcase which will take place in a few days.
Coming out in 2023 according to Jeff Grubb, Contraband is a ‘Xbox exclusive developed by Avalanche Studiosthe Just Cause series team, who announced it during E3 2021 with a basically devoid of details teaser trailer.
As of today we know that Contraband has been in the works since 2018 and that the development team is much bigger than Just Cause 4, but otherwise it’s still all shrouded in mystery.
The Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase on June 12 could certainly be the right stage to present the project with a gameplay trailer and illustrate the mechanics, although as mentioned the launch could only take place in 2023.
