After Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine, Ubisoft Delays Another Big Game

Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the developers in the gaming industry are prone to the new challenge of working from home. The developers at Ubisoft are facing similar difficulties, because of which the company delayed the release of two of its biggest titles, Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine. Both the titles will now hit the stores in the first half of 2021.

Another huge upcoming project for Ubisoft is its new Avatar game. In an earnings call, the publisher has confirmed its decision to delay the game.

The new Ubisoft Avatar game will now release in December 2022

Avatar is one of the most successful movies that Hollywood has produced. The first movie in the soon-to-be franchise released in 2009 and became the highest-grossing movie of all time. Following the success of Avatar, Ubisoft released its first game based on James Cameron’s movie. Since then, fans have been waiting for another Avatar movie, and a game as well.

The next movie in the Avatar series releases in December 2022, and along those lines, the new game from Ubisoft will also release in 2022. As for now, the developers have not even teased the gameplay of the upcoming title. However, it is safe to assume that the game will release for the next-gen PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S.

Ubisoft’s upcoming titles have a lot of burden on their shoulders

Ubisoft’s latest title Watch Dogs Legion released on October 29, 2020. Following the success of the first two Watch Dogs games, fans had high expectations from Legion. The developers had also announced that the game would have a ‘play as anyone’ feature, and it certainly aggravated the hype.

However, the response to the game since its release has not been satisfactory. Most of the new players love the game, but the veterans feel it could have been better. Ubisoft has tried to incorporate a lot of features in a single game, but it seems the company failed to do so. The game also owes some of its negative reviews to its long loading time on the PS4.
