Time flies when you’re blowing sh*t up!
It’s been TWO DECADES since Avalanche Studios was founded, so we’ll be celebrating throughout 2023. Keep your peepers peeled for behind-the-scenes exclusives, truly unique giveaways – and a few surprises!
Here’s to the next 20! 🍻
The rumors are true (and wow, have there been some rumors lately...)

It’s been over a decade since we announced Mad Max!
This 90-second showcase of violent pragmatism jumpstarted a car-smashing campaign that crossed the finish line in 2015. Along the way, we learned a thing or two about the complexities of vehicular combat and sandstorm physics.
It's been 12 years to the day since Rico made his explosive return in Just Cause 2! 💥
Thank you to all the

A very happy seventh birthday Mad Max!
Why not celebrate with a replay? After all, there’s no party like a “trying to survive among bloodthirsty rival gangs in a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland” party.
Apologies for being silent for a couple of days, but we are hard at work solving the problems some of you are experiencing. For more information check out the dev update below!

Half a decade later, Just Cause 4 remains unrivaled in its extreme weather simulation, open-world exploration, and action-packed gameplay.
Time to celebrate with a wingsuit back into Solís – we bet you can't keep up! 🌪️
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the most unlikely places. 🎄
So once you’ve found every piece of scrap and finished all the races
It’s time to grit your teeth, push that injured leg

Roses are red, lasers are blue
Explosions are lovely, and dinos are too

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day, buttercup!
The sun reflecting off the lake as you cast your line, the luscious grass riddled with murderous machines, the disastrous drought of the Wasteland… It all sounds like summer to us. ☀️

Does your meeting room have a bullethole-ridden hood of a car in it?
Ours does.
As part of the audio design test and research for Just Cause 2, we shot a car. Like, a lot. 13-different-weapons kind of a lot.

Today is Rico’s birthday! 🥂
Looking pretty good for a 56-year-old.
His secret? The humble grapple hook. He swears it keeps you fit enough to overthrow any dictator.
As a birthday gift, we’ve made you a little something: the making of the grapple hook!
One new studio, one acquisition, three new games. The last few months have been... a little busy. Avalanche Studios CEO Pim Holfve talk about it all in this brand new interview.
This year we celebrated two decades of open-world mayhem. Of course, this meant gathering all Avalanchers to plan, party, and (literally) blow shit up.
We also plotted our next 20 years. But we’re not revealing those bits in this red-hot footage from Avaland Summit 2023.
Oh hey, I know that game!

You’ve got to love a crisp autumn afternoon. 🍂
Be it wrapping up warm and waiting for the next deer to pop into view, or running for your life from the invading machines – fall’s just the best, right?
One does not simply “direct tech”… So it’s a good thing that we have Karl! With one foot in live projects and the other in the future of tech, Karl really has his head in the game.
What’s in an explosion? Who’s behind a killer car chase? How do they make water look wet?
From Just Cause to Contraband, Avalanchers recieve the support they need to grow in their careers and refine their craft.
