Based on the developer, they experienced a setback due to what they said are “ongoing constraints” which are said to affect the game development itself and the industry. Ubisoft said that they’re still committed to doing the James Cameron franchise which they branded as a “multi-year opportunity”.
Aside from the Avatar game, other games are also expected to face delays or imminent cancellations. Two of the unlucky titles that have been canceled are battle royale brawler Ghost Recon Frontline and Splinter Cell VR. Ubisoft is also said to have dropped already two unannounced games and has pushed back others from a release window of 2022-2023 to 2023-2024.
It was seen that this decision of Ubisoft was influenced by the dipping of the net bookings by 10% compared to last year despite having promising sales from the Assassin’s Creed series and Rainbow Six Siege in the first quarter.
