Something that already happened in the past year 2022.
Contraband is, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated games if we talk about Xbox exclusives, but it is also one of the most mysterious, and since it was announced, in an Xbox Showcase two years ago, we have not met many details officially. For this reason, many users are waiting to see more of this next Avalanche video game, which could be shown at Xbox & Bethesda Showcasean event that we can see on June 11.
Last year it was already mentioned, in different reports, that Contraband was originally planned to be released during 2022, but for various reasons it ended up being delayed a year internally. Now we have been able to know, thanks to GamingBolt, that this game of Avalanche Studios could have been delayed againin this case another year, so it would reach us during the next year 2024.
Specifically, it has been the renowned Xbox leaker, “Colteastwood”, who recently commented on the GameOnDaily podcast, that Contraband has been delayed another year internallybecause, according to what he says, Avalanche Studios would need this extra year of development.
This leaker has already made the occasional correct leak before, especially related to Xbox, so we can give it some credibility. Likewise, taking into account the problems that Microsoft is having to specify a consistent release schedule, we can say that it is not at all strange that this information is real.
Will we see Contraband at the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase?
For now we will have to wait, and it is that Contraband, a game that probably hopes to become, when it is released, one of the best Xbox Series X | S games, has not provided us with many details. It is still a mystery if it will appear in the aforementioned Xbox & Bethesda Showcase of the present year 2023, although if this information is real, it would make sense for us to see him at this event.
Of course, just as the information is likely to be true, there’s also the possibility that Contraband will end up being one of the big 2023 releases for Xbox, though again, we will have to wait until we know more details about this title.
