Ubisoft has teamed up with Lightstorm Entertainment and Fox Interactive to work on a new game for PS4, Xbox One and PC set on the Avatar movie world of Pandora.
James Cameron’s Avatar won all sorts of awards on release in 2009, many of them based on the fantastic visual effects, design and cinematography. Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment, who were the brains behind The Division, is going to have its work cut out to live up to expectation, but the development team are ready to take it on.
Check out the Avatar video above, where Massive talk about their new partnership.
Speaking on the new partnership, David Polfeldt, Managing Director at Massive Entertainment, said: “James Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment changed the way we think about immersive storytelling with the first Avatar. The ambition that they have for the forthcoming films and this game is really inspiring,” said David Polfeldt, Managing Director at Massive Entertainment. “It’s a privilege to work with them and we’re honoured that they’ve entrusted us to create an experience worthy of the Avatar name.”
Avatar (official title still to be announced) will run on Massive Entertainment’s Snowdrop Engine. A release date has yet to be announced.
