Contraband was announced back in 2021. Since then, we've seen just about nothing from the game. No messaging beats, no trailers, and even the Xbox executives didn't yap about this one! After four years of development, this collaboration between Xbox and Avalanche has come to a close. Adding it to the list of canceled Xbox titles, this one feels different to Dependable Cog and Choco Matty. Part of it is apathy, but it's also a new angle from the previous shutdowns where we really don't know much about what was lost. It's a valuable lesson in why Xbox shouldn't announce things early. Beyond our headline, we get into Xbox's president offering her talents to Tyson Foods (?!), Halo coming to PlayStation, a legend leaving Xbox, and diving deep into Matty's recent interview with ex-BioWare vet, Mark Darrah.

Well, it was an interesting week for gaming with Nintendo unveiling their latest Indie World and the prize of that showcase was assuredly Mina the Hollower, and the best part was that a demo was availabe immediately, so Sean gave the game a whirl and he's defintely excited for October 31 to get here quickly. Also, Sony has fantastic PS5 sales, essentially putting them right in line with PS4 numbers, while their CFO makes some interesting statements regarding live service games and a "movement away from hardware and towards creation" that got hardcore gamers all kinds of nervous. Plus, Embracer brings back RedOctane. Are Guitar Rhythm games about to make a comeback? Microsoft cancels yet another game with Contraband getting the axe, and more!

Contraband

In today's Daily Fix:Another game has fallen victim to Microsoft's cost-saving measures. Avalanche's Contraband, which the public hasn't seen anything of, depsite being announced with a teaser trailer back in 2021, has been put on hold, and judging by Xbox's recent track record with in-development games, it doesn't look good. Contraband was supposed to be an open-world co-op game from the developers of Just Cause, but aside from the aforementioned teaser, we saw nothing of it. The game has joined the likes of Perfect Dark and Everwild as long-in-development Xbox titles that will now no longer see the light of day. In Sony news, the PS5 has just shipped 80 million units worldwide, and is on track to overtake the PS3 in overall sales. But it has a long way to go to catch longtime sales leader, the PlayStation 2, with more 160 million units sold (not just shipped). And speaking of Sony, the company is admitting that their live-service plans haven't gone according to plan, after the failures of Concord and now Marathon's most recent delay.
