Avalanche Studios

Avalanche Studios was founded in 2003, and has since established itself on the forefront of open world game development. Following the successful debut of Just Cause in 2006, a new studio called Expansive Worlds was founded to focus on socially connected online games. Its premiere title, the Hunter was released in 2009 and currently has more than 6 million hunters signed up. Just Cause 2, Avalanche Studios' breakthrough release, was released in 2010 and has since sold more than 6 million copies. The studio has also released acclaimed twin stick shooter game Renegade Ops and post-apocalyptic open-world action game Mad Max. In 2011, Avalanche Studios expanded to North America by opening a studio in Soho, New York. It was here that the highly anticipated follow-up to Just Cause 2 was developed until its widely celebrated release in late 2015.

Avalanche Studios currently employs 320 people across its Stockholm, New York studios and are just opening up in Malmö in the very South parts of Sweden.
