In a report from Gamesindustry.biz, Avalanche Studios co-founder and Just Cause creator Christofer Sundberg has formed Liquid Swords, a new game studio in Stockholm.
“We have no intention of reshaping the world of storytelling as we know it,” said Sundberg. “Our road to leaving our mark and making a difference in the industry is built first and foremost on games that are immediately accessible and consistently rewarding.
Liquid Swords will work on open-world action games for next-gen consoles, PC, and streaming platforms. While the studio is headquartered in Stockholm, there will be several other locations around the world. Sundberg goes onto say that this new studio aims to make a creative and fun workplace that has a “no-nonsense, game development-focused approach.”
“I have loved player freedom and creativity ever since I first started making games and with Liquid Swords, I am confident we’ll provide the go-to games for fun entertainment for decades to come,” continues Sundberg.

Avalanche Studios is most well-known for making the Just Cause series. The most recent entry in the series is Just Cause 4 which released in December 2018. From there, they helped develop id Software’s Rage 2 in 2019. Additionally, they made 2015’s Mad Max, a game that released the same year as WB’s Mad Max: Fury Road. They aren’t to be mixed up with Avalanche Software, which is currently working on Hogwarts Legacy, the latest Harry Potter game.
As we get more details on Liquid Swords’ new project, we’ll be sure to let you know. In the meantime, Just Cause 4 is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It’s currently the December PlayStation Plus game alongside Worms Rumble and Rocket Arena.
