Today, during Ubisoft Forward, Ubisoft finally revealed its Avatar game, which has quietly been in development at Massive Entertainment for a couple of years. The first trailer not only revealed our first look at the game, but a title, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. In addition to this, Ubisoft also revealed a release window for the game, confirming it’s releasing in 2022 via the PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, Amazon Luna, and Google Stadia. At the moment of publishing, there’s been word of a PS4 version nor an Xbox One version, and it doesn’t sound like this is going to change, with Ubisoft pitching the game as a true next-gen experience.

Unfortunately, details on the game still aren’t plentiful, but it’s described as an “immersive, open-world game,” complete with a new, standalone story. The trailer above suggest the game could be in first-person, but for now this hasn’t been confirmed.
