The new movie Avatar: The Way of Water hit the cinemas on Wednesday. However, the question remains as to when publisher Ubisoft’s new Avatar video game will be released.
Avatar fans can rejoice: Since Wednesday, 14 December, you can finally watch “Avatar – The Way of Water” in the cinemas.
Now only one question remains open: When will the announced game “Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora” finally arrive?
According to the last announcement by Ubisoft in May 2022, the game is to be released sometime in 2023-24.
Assuming that 2023-24 refers to Ubisoft’s fiscal year, the game is now likely to be released between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024.
Originally, the release of the game was planned to coincide with the cinema release of “Avatar – The Way of Water” in December 2022.

Over a hundred million people worldwide have seen the trailer of the long-awaited film Avatar 2 in the first 24 hours. The sequel to the 2009 blockbuster will be released in cinemas in December and is called Avatar: The Way of Water. In the gaming scene, the announced film release is fuelling new hopes for the video game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
While the game trailer at E3 2021 caused quite a stir, further information about the action adventure game from Ubisoft remained rather scarce. However, the release date for the game now seems to manifest itself. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is scheduled to be released by 31 March 2023. The same applies to other Ubisoft productions such as Mario + Rabbid Sparks of Hope and Skull & Bones.

The information comes from Ubisoft’s quarterly report, which was released on Wednesday. Among other things, it states: “For 2022-23, we are targeting a return to significant revenue growth. It will be driven primarily by a diverse line-up of premium games, including Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Skull & Bones, as well as other exciting titles.” Because the fiscal year runs until 31 March, the games must be released by that date at the latest. Again, the information does not rule out the possibility of the new Avatar title being released this year.
The concrete release date of the new Avatar game is still unknown, but the period has been concretised for the time being. On the (official homepage of Ubisoft) it still says the year 2022 as the release date for the Avatar game, which will be available for the latest game consoles such as PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Google Stadia. Accordingly, it remains an open question whether the title might be released at the end of the year after all, when the movie release is due on 14 December. From a business point of view, game releases in December are generally less optimal because the timing is too close to Christmas and the main business for the holidays takes place in the preceding months.
