In a current put up on social media, Avalanche Studios’ founder, Christofer Sundberg, revealed that the present make-up of the corporate would stop Just Cause 5 from ever resurfacing.

In his phrases, even the reappearance of Just Cause 5 wouldn’t be sufficient to ‘save’ Avalanche.

We Might Never See Another Just Cause Game

Just Cause debuted in 2006, rising as an open-world motion title like by no means earlier than. It was an infinite sport that pushed the PlayStation 2 and Xbox to unexpected limits, providing gamers an enormous world to trek by whereas endeavor gun-blazing missions and death-defying stunts.

It was expanded on with a second, third, and fourth (and last) launch, however the latter title proved to be the killing level for the franchise, which is one thing that Christofer Sundberg, founding father of Avalanche Studios, shouldered a few of the blame for:

The issues with JC4 was partly me (unwillingly) transferring away from artistic management to extra company crap, writer issues, staff composition and roles and extra. Sad, as a result of taking a look at JC4 now, it exhibits SO a lot promise.

Sundberg was speaking to his followers in regards to the current subject of Contraband. Images of the canceled sport surfaced lately on-line, prompting Sundberg to handle his relation to the challenge:

Me and my staff pitched Contraband again in 2017 to MSFT (and signed it). It’s modified rather a lot since then clearly, however it will have been unbelievable to see it being launched at some point in some way. #JC5 can be a no-go since extraordinarily few from the unique staff are there nonetheless.

In the feedback below his put up, Sundberg grew to become essential of Avalanche’s present working mannequin:

I doubt it. They want to search out the hearth once more, take dangers, piss folks off and make video games the remainder mentioned was unimaginable. I began Avalanche to interrupt the mould, to not match into one.
