Just Cause developer Avalanche was dealt a blow last year when Xbox cancelled Contraband, a co-op smuggling game set in '70s Southeast Asia. But it's not the first project in the Swedish studio's long history to be canned after years of investment and high hopes. Avalanche co-founder and former chief creative officer Christofer Sundberg has opened up about AionGuard, a beloved project of the late noughties that "would have been Crimson Desert".
"It was exactly that," he told PC Gamer. "I haven't played Crimson Desert enough, but we had everything that I've seen from Crimson Desert in the plans for that game."
