In Contraband, players will take on the roles of smugglers exploring the fictional Southeast Asian world of 1970s Bayan.

The game is a product of a partnership between Xbox Game Studios and Avalanche Studios meaning it’ll come exclusively to Xbox Series X|S and PC. No release date or window was revealed so we can expect the game to come out in the far, far future.
