Initially informed by Bloomberg, it seems that Smuggling Now it has been canceled or at least has made its development stop at the moment. The reporter Jason Schreier states that the project has been canceled “after four years of radio silence.”
Avalanche Studios continued with the confirmation on its own website, saying: “In recent years, Avalanche Studios Group and Xbox Game Studios Publishing have collaborated in smuggling. The active development has now stopped while we evaluate the future of the project.
