Paul Rustchynsky, the director on DriveClub and Onrush, via Twitter has teased he will announce the next game the team has been working on for the last year. The game is not a racing game and it is something different from what he has previously worked on.
"In 2021 we (Avalanche Studios Group) opened a new studio in Liverpool, an exciting moment for me having achieved one of my career goals," said Rustchynsky. "In 2022 we'll get to announce the game we've been working on for the past year."
He added, "To set some expectations, I'm not working on a racing game. So sorry, no DriveClub sequel, MotorStorm successor or Onrush offshoot. This is something very different to anything I've worked on before."
Rustchynsky was asked if he was talking about Contraband and he revealed it is another new IP.
"We're working on another new IP that's yet to be announced," Rustchynsky said. "There are more projects being worked on at Avalanche than most people would expect!"
Contraband is an open-world co-op game in development for the Xbox Series X|S and PC.
To set some expectations, I'm not working on a racing game.

Such a huge shame,
Driveclub was the most and still beautiful racing game ever
Had they updated it to 4k it would be. But the game is bad looking now. Forza 7 and gt sport lol much better. Sharper and with nice anti aliasing.
Still prefer gt sport . I'd like to get back into driveclub, but shame no 60 fps support on ps5.
I liked Driveclub so best of luck for him. Perhaps Sony dissing him have something to do with Contraband skipping PS?
They pitched Contraband to MS and they greenlit the project simple as that. It’s not on PS5 because MS are funding it and own the IP.
You'd have to be pretty stupid to refuse to do business with one of the only three platform holders in your industry based on some personal grudge.
There is a difference between refusing to do service and giving priority (even more when you aren't a major publisher), several japanese devs skip Xbox and some even PS.
Those Japanese games don't come to XB because there is little interest in those games among XB users. That's a business decision, not a "we don't like XB" thing.
