Just Cause 5 "would be a no-go" because of studio departures, Avalanche co-founder says, but he would've loved for Xbox's canceled Contraband see the light of day

Mad Max, Rage 2, and Just Cause maker Avalanche Studios (not to be confused with Hogwarts Legacy maker Avalanche Software) hasn't returned to its signature open-world series in years, and the company's co-founder doesn't see a potential Just Cause 5 happening anytime soon, either.
