Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Delayed
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will suffer a delay - and a sizable one at that. Another Ubisoft game, which was tentatively scheduled for release in 2022, is also set to share a similar fate.
I bring bad news for all those who are anticipating the release of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora from Ubisoft Massive. According to today's financial report of the French company for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022/23, this title will suffer a delay and will be released in the fiscal year 2023/24 (i.e., between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024).
The reasons for the delay are not known. Adding to the puzzlement of the whole affair is the fact that, according to popular industry insider Tom Henderson, until a few weeks ago Ubisoft was said to have assured vendors that Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora would be released on November 18, 2022 (we wrote about it here). The journalist finds this information surprising.
Interestingly enough, the fate of Avatar is to be shared by yet another "smaller" "premium" game, which was scheduled for release in fiscal 2022/23. Its title, however, we can only guess at, as it has not been officially announced yet. It seems quite likely that it could be about a stealth-oriented Assassin's Creed spinoff - probably subtitled Rift - which, according to recent rumors is expected to take us to Baghdad.
