Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will now release in 2023-24. We are committed to delivering a cutting-edge immersive experience that takes full advantage of next-gen technology, as this amazing global entertainment brand represents a major multi-year opportunity for Ubisoft.
“While this additional development time is a reflection of the current ongoing constraints on productions across the industry, we are hard at work to design the most efficient working conditions to ensure both flexibility for our teams as well as strong productivity while delivering the best experiences to players.”
As for other potential projects underway, Ubisoft in the report also reference a new ‘premium game’. “We also decided to release in 2023-24 a smaller unannounced premium game, originally slated for 2022-23.” It is entirely possible we could see the reveal for said game at the coming Ubisoft Forward presentation scheduled for this September.
