I would assume it was the Mad Max/Rage 2 team at Avalanche that is making Contraband. Leaks point to the Just Cause team currently making Just Cause 5 for Square Enix, and Avalanche only has 2 teams at their main studio afaik. So if you liked Mad Max (I did too), there is definite reason to be hopeful Contraband will be good. We just have to hope it turns out more like Mad Max and less like Rage 2, as that team developed both games, and Rage 2 was a bit of a dud compared to the original Rage developed by id Software.
On a related note, that other Heist game that was announced at The Game Awards looks good too, Crime Boss: Rockay City. Great cast including Michael Madsen, Chuck Norris, Danny Glover, Danny Trejo, and Vanilla Ice. It is the debut game of the large AA Czech Studio that is developing it (90+ developers currently), so it's a bit of a wildcard, but has definite potential imo. Xbox may want to look into a day one Gamepass deal on it if it doesn't release too close to Contraband itself.
