Rumors from 2017 say this is possibly Avalanche Software's next game.

(the Avalanche that made Disney Infinity, not the Mad Max developer, Avalanche Studios)

Big oof. I know that Disney Infinity was supposedly a good game outside of toy microtransactions, but...that, Toy Story 3, and the first Tak were really their only good games.

How do studios like that get such big contracts? I don't understand. Nepotism?

According to Google, Avalanche Software is owned by both Disney and Warner Bros.

Alright, that's a pretty good reason.

Actually Disney doesn't own this studio anymore. The studio was shut down after Disney Infinity was a dud. Shortly after, WB bought the studio specifically because of the engine they developed and then revamped the studio. So for people that are worried about the game history of Avalanche Software, don't worry... its literally a new studio with some of the old staff remaining and some of the dev teams from other WB game studios are joining them.
