Avalanche Studios, the studio behind the Just Cause series, has today announced a new branding identity for itself and two other teams. Avalanche Studios Group is the new name, which covers the aforementioned developer as well as Expansive Worlds, known for Hunter: Call of the Wild, and Generation Zero makers Systemic Reaction.
The new collective name and branding "marks the start of a new era" for the company, CEO Pim Holfve says in a press release. "Although we have expanded to three creative divisions, our singular focus is to bring immersive open world experiences to millions of players around the globe."
To celebrate this corporate reshuffle, Systemic Reaction has provided a teaser trailer for an upcoming project, which we've embedded above. At this point, it's probably safe to assume this will be a PlayStation 5 game. Going by the little we see in the video, it looks like it could be leaning into survival horror with this new title.
What do you think of all this? Do you like the new name and branding for Avalanche Studios Group? Are you excited to see more of this next game? Don't make too loud a noise in the comments below.

They should put some more effort in decent running games. Their last game was a insult how it ran.
Very ominous. I'm almost expecting a hungry pack of wolves to charge out of that cave.
Just Cause... FPS
After Just Cause 4 I am very leery of this company.
I wonder... Is it for PS5 ?
Last good just cause was 2 imo. Time to try something different
Seems like a zombie game
I’m super excited about this! I’m one of the few that really love Generation Zero.
I have no trust in this studio anymore. Had to trade in the last Just Cause, beCAUSE it was just a stutter feast.
After the Mad Max hype of a never ending experience lie, JC4 bringing open world to a stupid degree and now a new studio.
They have a lot to correct, will wait with bated breath.
@Flaming_Kaiser you're probably talking about jc4 but I thought Rage 2 was awesome and ran great.
I do hope that this time they optimized their game properly. Regret buying JC4.
Just Cause 2 was the best game they ever did 3 and 4 where awful and didn't really innovate the franchise the latter 2 ran so poorly on PC and 3 looks awful on PS4 that even though it's free in my library I refused to play it. I wouldn't hold up on these guys because the rep proceeds them
@veryhoudini11 You know it i found rage 2 a little boring.
@Flaming_Kaiser honestly, me too. I get bored with open world games often. Too much filler and empty space. Driving was cool and shooting was fun but it takes a little more than just solid mechanics to keep me engaged.
@veryhoudini11 The reason i liked HZD was because of the story and the gameplay was awsome.
But to many games are just boring things. Dont get mad but i find GTA boring its the same thing with the same boring quests if you played one you played them all. I know it looks great but thats not the enough for me too buy it.
Assasins Creed Syndicate i loved the characters but instead of a greater story they send me on boring races, fetch quests, fighting the same characters with a higher level. 😩👎
Evie even gets married but if you looked away for a second you would have missed it. Such a missed opportunity i would have loved more backstory. 😢
@Flaming_Kaiser yeah I totally agree. There are plenty of open world games I love because they are so deep and have a lot offer. Hzd, Witcher 3 are a few obvious ones that come to mind. Rage 2 I could play and have fun but wouldn't stay engaged for long and would just put the game down. It's not often that I want to play an open world non stop like some of the greats. Ubusoft open worlds usually bore me or make me feel like I'm doing the same thing over and over. I'm sick of climbing shit just to reveal more of the map.
