Another Xbox game seems to be disappearing, with Bloomberg's Jason Schreier initially reporting on Thursday via Bluesky that Contraband is being canceled. This was quickly followed by an official statement from the developers, which confirmed that work on the project was ceasing.

Contraband - a game under development by Avalanche Studios (Just Cause) - has been suddenly cancelled by Microsoft.

Xbox has stopped development of Contrabrand to "evaluate the project's future," with a Bloomberg report saying the game is canceled entirely four years after its initial E3 announcement.
