"I think there's a space for us," says Christofer Sundberg

2 months after halting work on its latest project, Just Cause developer Avalanche is closing its Liverpool studio and laying off employees in Malmö and Stockholm

Ángel Manuel Soto (Blue Beetle) will direct, and Jack Ryan writer Aaron Rabin is now (by my count) the ninth writer attached.
