<\/p>\n

As part of its quarterly earnings report, Ubisoft has announced it has delayed \u201cAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The open-world game title, based on James Cameron’s film franchise, was expected to arrive sometime before March next year with talk of it coming on or around the second film’s release in December.<\/p>\n

Now though, the company confirms it won’t be until sometime in the next fiscal year, starting April 2023, that it will hit. Indications are it will likely be well into 2023 before it hits. In a statement they say:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are committed to delivering a cutting-edge immersive experience that takes full advantage of next-gen technology, as this amazing global entertainment brand represents a major multi-year opportunity for Ubisoft.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition to that delay, the publisher revealed has revealed it has canceled four other games. One is \u201cSplinter Cell VR\u201d which was in development at Ubisoft’s Red Storm studio and in partnership with Meta \u2013 suggesting it was to be made available for their headsets like the Oculus Quest 2.<\/p>\n

Also gone is the free-to-play battle royale game \u201cGhost Recon Frontline\u201d in development at Ubisoft Bucharest. The game’s announcement trailer last year was met with significant backlash leading to a delay and eventually cancellation.<\/p>\n

The two other titles were unannounced. The company has in development remakes of \u201cPrince of Persia: The Sands of Time,\u201d \u201cSplinter Cell\u201d and \u201cThe Settlers\u201d along with \u201cBeyond Good and Evil 2,\u201d two \u201cThe Division\u201d titles,\u201d a \u201cRainbow Six\u201d mobile title, \u201cXDefiant,\u201d \u201cRocksmith+,\u201d an untitled \u201cStar Wars\u201d game and more so the two titles could be anything.<\/p>\n

For now the company definitely has \u201cMario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope\u201d and \u201cSkull and Bones\u201d on the way, and is revealing the future of the \u201cAssassin’s Creed\u201d franchise in September which is expected to include a smaller Baghdad-set title next year ahead of the massive multiple time period spanning live-service title \u201cAssassin’s Creed Infinity\u201d.<\/p>\n
