Ubisoft has announced that it will be developing a new video game based on the universe of James Cameron’s Avatar. The franchise will be back after laying dormant since 2009.
They said the Avatar game will be back on PC and consoles and that it will make use of Massive’s new Snowdrop engine. This is the same great looking game engine that powered The Division.
“What impressed me about Massive were the group’s passion for this project, and the power of its Snowdrop engine,” Cameron says. “With the power of [Snowdrop], and the team’s passion and obsessive focus on detail, we know they’re the right group to bring the beauty and danger of Pandora to life.”
Ubisoft also released a behind the scenes video looking at how this partnership came to be. The franchise will be back bigger than ever as four movie sequels are in development right now. The first movie took the world by storm earning $2.7 billion at the Box Office. Nothing has been able to overtake it as Titanic and The Force Awakens are the two next highest grossing movies.
