Ubisoft reported in a press release yesterday that the company and Twentieth Century Fox will team up for an MMOG based on director James Cameron’s upcoming movie, Avatar.
James Cameron commented: “For the movie ‘Avatar’ we are creating a world rich in character, detail, conflict and cultural depth. It has the raw material for a game that the more demanding gamers of today will want to get their hands on — one that is rich in visuals and ideas, and challenging in play. I told the Ubisoft team I wanted them to be free to do their very best work, and not think of this as a movie-based game. They responded with a fully realized presentation which captured the soul of the world and the characters, while promising to be a knockout game on its own terms. Their passion inspired my confidence that they are going to do something transcendental.”
The game and movie are planned for release in May 2009. You can read the entire press release at the Ubisoft website.
