Ubisoft prépare un nouveau jeu basé sur l'univers d'Avatar
Remember Avatar? It was the most successful movies ever made, grossing close to $3 billion internationally and yet since its release eight years ago, itâs almost fallen off of the map. While a massive technical achievement, there wasnât much about the story that really resonated with people â it was Dancing with Wolves, in space.
Games based on the world were equally lacklustre, but that doesnât mean we arenât ever going to see Pandora again. Indeed, with the rumored Avatar 2 set to finally begin shooting this summer, Massive Entertainment, Ubisoft and Lightstorm have teamed up to make a brand new Avatar game.
The announcement video doesnât show us anything about the game itself, which suggests that we wonât be seeing it for some time â indeed, expect it to release alongside the next movie sometime in 2018. However we can look at the pedigree of lead developer Massive, which previously worked on games like The Division and Far Cry 3.
It knows how to build big, immersive game worlds, so it seems capable of making a game based around Pandora.
The question is, by the time itâs released, will anyone be that interested? Do you guys care about Avatar as a franchise any more?
