T
he 2009 box office hit Avatar is about to get a little bigger. At the 2017 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, slated to run until March 3, it was announced that an Avatar video game is in the works.
Massive Entertainment, Ubisoft's studio based in Malmö, Sweden, is partnering with Lightbox Entertainment and Fox Interactive to create the new Avatar game.
While this will not be Ubisoft’s first game centered around Avatar – the 2009 James Cameron's Avatar: The Game holds that title -- this game will utilize the Snowdrop Engine.
