Along with that, many of them were also excited about playing the game involving one of most revered movie franchises of all time. But many of them felt that the developers were a bit too late at developing a title on a movie that released 12 years ago. Even then it looks like with sequels set to arrive soon, now is the perfect time for Ubisoft to release a game revolving around the Na’Vi and Pandora.

Additionally, the new game also brought back a lot of memories of fans regarding Ubisoft’s first attempt at an Avatar video game. The company released a prequel game titled James Cameron’s Avatar The Game which also released in 2009. It never gained the massive commercial success of the movie, and many fans believe that the upcoming title will be much better than it.

Many players were happy about a video game about the James Cameron franchise. But some of them were also disappointed to know that Ubisoft wasn’t developing a title around The Last Airbender. Additionally, players voiced their disappointment at the French company for not creating a world around characters like Aang and many more.
