Ubisoft has delayed the launch of their latest ‘Avatar’ game.
The fantasy video game has been pushed back over fears of a drop in sales as the sequel to the 2009 movie has been postponed until 2022.
Ubisoft first teased the game in 2017 when it announced it was partnering with Massive Entertainment, Lightstorm Entertainment and FoxNext to bring director James Cameron’s world of Pandora to life.
Managing Director, David Polfeldt said: “James Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment changed the way we think about immersive storytelling with the first Avatar, and the ambition that they have for the forthcoming films and this game is really inspiring.
“It’s a privilege to work with them and we’re honored that they’ve entrusted us to create an experience worthy of the ‘Avatar’’ name.”
Cameron added: “What impressed me about Massive were the group’s passion for this project and the power of its Snowdrop engine. I believe Ubisoft’s team at Massive Entertainment are absolutely the right partners to bring the beauty and danger of Pandora to life.”
However, it is not the only game from Ubisoft to be pushed back to a later date as ‘Far Cry 6’ has also been delayed.
The game was due to be released in February 2021 but will now be made available sometime between April 2021 and March 2022.
