GRTV caught up with Avalanche co-founder Christofer Sundberg to talk about the Just Cause franchise and the studio:
"Like many things at Avalanche it was certainly nothing that we planned," says Sundberg with a smile. "It just happened to be that way. But 2015 is a huge year, but also with great success comes great responsibility to take the studio to the next level. So it's not only the pressure of having two big games being released in the same year. Also adds pressure to the studio to evolve and we're expanding our self-publishing business quite a lot with The Hunter and theHunter: Primal as sort of the foundation for that. We're releasing our first mobile game this year and we hope to expand that business a little bit while we're keeping on with the bigger AAA projects."
Hitman's David Bateson and Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Magnus Bruun featured in voice acting panel.
A small update from Christofer Sundberg, Founder & Creative Director, Liquid Swords.
It’s doing slightly better than Minds Eye it seems but not by much. Hopefully by the time it hits PS5 they have fixed most of the issues.
Just Cause developer Avalanche has closed its Liverpool studio, following the cancellation of Xbox exclusive Contraband earlier this year.
Good for them. I'm glad Avalanche have expanded and enjoyed some success with their games over the years. Mad Max and Just Cause 3 will sell well, no doubt.
