Video game developer Avalanche Interactive says that it is no longer working on its steampunk-themed open-world sandbox video game, although it might pick up the project at a later date.

Christofer Sundberg, the chief creative officer at the company, tells Edge that the title is on ice because the company currently has other priorities and that it is definitely not a new Just Cause title.

He adds, “I really love that art style, and to combine it with sandbox gameplay is a dream of mine. Fortunately, being an independent developer I can control my own destiny and we’ll make something in that world sooner or later.”

Many fans believed that the open-world steampunk shot that Avalanche showed the community was linked to Just Cause 3 and they will be disappointed to hear that the project is no longer in development.
