Ubisoft Delays Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, Along With A “Smaller Unannounced” Game

Ubisoft­’s Avatar game, Fron­tiers of Pan­do­ra, is not going to release as planned. The com­pa­ny announced yes­ter­day dur­ing a earn­ings brief­ing that the new game is now arriv­ing in the next fis­cal year. Ubisoft delayed a sec­ond, unnamed game as well.

Fron­tiers of Pan­do­ra is being devel­oped by Mas­sive, the same team behind The Divi­sion. Of course, Mas­sive is also cur­rent­ly work­ing on an open-world Star Wars title.

“We 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,” the pub­lish­er remarked of the delay.

The “small­er unan­nounced pre­mi­um” game was also delayed to com­pa­ny’s next fis­cal year.

Ubisoft­’s FY 2023–2024 starts April 1, 2023 and ends June 30th, 2024. These games could be released with­in this time­frame. This does­n’t include any pos­si­ble delays they could face in the future.

Ubisoft stat­ed the delays were due to “ongo­ing con­straints” through­out the video game industry.

While this addi­tion­al devel­op­ment time is a reflec­tion of the cur­rent ongo­ing con­straints on pro­duc­tions across the indus­try, we are hard at work to design the most effi­cient work­ing con­di­tions to ensure both flex­i­bil­i­ty for our teams as well as strong pro­duc­tiv­i­ty while deliv­er­ing the best expe­ri­ences to play­ers,” Ubisoft said.
