Even so, it's entirely possible that the new game won't be a simple adaptation of the movie's events, as the first game Ubisoft released in 2009 acted as a prequel and gave players the option to side with the native Na'vi people and become an Avatar or continue working as an RDA soldier.

This obviously makes sense as releasing an Avatar game closer to the sequel's release will better promote the movie and vice-versa, thus improving potential sales, compared to if it chose to release the game in 2021, a year before the movie comes out. The new plan is to release it in Ubisoft's financial year that begins in April 2022. With it being pushed to a 2022 release, Ubisoft has opted to delay development on the game as well. Said sequel was supposed to release in December 2021, 12 years after the first one, but also had to be delayed. More specifically, the game is meant to tie-in with the upcoming sequel, Avatar 2.

But one other game that not many may know about was also hit with a delay - Ubisoft's new Avatar game. Gamers will encounter the Navi, Pandoras indigenous people and discover other life forms the likes of which have never. The video game will take you deep into the heart of Pandora, an alien planet that is beyond imagination. Earlier this week, Ubisoft announced that it had chosen to delay Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine, two major titles that it still has planned to release either in 2021 or early 2022, due to production troubles brought on by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. James Camerons Avatar: The Game is the official video game based on the highly anticipated film James Camerons Avatar.
