Avalanche Studios Confirms Project Mamba

Avalanche Studios Confirms Project Mamba

New studio opened to aid development

Written by KeithBGray on 17 November 11 at 23:42

Avalanche Studios, the Swedish developer behind Just Cause and Just Cause 2, has confirmed that it is currently developing a new AAA title, codenamed Project Mamba.

At this time, the development team is giving very little away regarding the nature or type of game we can expect. However, with an expected release in 2014, it seems that Project Mamba will not make an appearance until the next generation of consoles comes to market.

Although those involved have been fairly tight-lipped on Project Mamba, the same individuals have not been shy in unveiling the new 10,000 square-foot, New York studio which will house the development team.

Avalanche Studios founder, Christofer Sundberg had the following to say about the independent developer's fight to make things happen, even despite the recent global economic crisis:

...we have achieved yet another goal by establishing a new studio in the greatest city in North America. We are one of the few independent, AAA-budget studios remaining in the world after the disastrous economic recession of the last few years. While this was a huge wake-up call for everyone in our industry, we have prepared for this expansion for over three years and it is a great feeling to execute our plans with such resounding successOne thing we do know for certain at the present time is that former Activision and Atari executive, David Grijns, is leading the development of Project Mamba. There's not much to go on just now, we know, but rest assured when more details come to light we'll being them to your attention!

has there even been confirmation that there will be a next generation of consoles by 2014? All I've heard is the Xbox Loop, but that sounds like it will be a handheld console.

And it is rumoured to be a CES 2013 headliner so a 2014 release date seems feasible.

I sure hope it isn't going keep the name Loop. That name is dumb, unless the console is the shape of a ring. If it was, then that would be badass!

If it was, then that would be badass!Don't think that's the final name. Loop was given to the software side of the development while Infinity was given to the hardware side.

As long as it is fully backward compatible with the current consoles and it doesn't reset my whore point, errr, achievement points then I don't care what they call it! Oh and no death rings too!

Hell yeah it had better keep your current achievement points. I didn't just spend 600+ hours finishing DOAX2 just to get it taken away.

Hopefully it's some sort of Just Cause/Dead Rising mashup set on a massive island involving nazi zombies.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the "Black Mamba" fighting off the alien and/or zombie apocalypse.

That, or he'll rape all our women.

I had a good picture but I forgot TA doesn't allow it facepalm

Just Cause 2 was superb, but I'm a little sad that I'll be waiting for 2014 and a new console before I can play Avalanche's next game.
