Massive Entertainment, a Ubisoft studio, is leading the game\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p>Massive is behind the creation of Tom Clancy\u2019s The Division, which last spring broke multiple records in the games industry, including the record for the industry\u2019s best-selling new game franchise in an opening week. They are now working on a new AAA project based on Avatar, the highest-grossing film of all time. Four sequels to Avatar are currently in development, and Lightstorm, FoxNext and Massive are working together to create a game that will continue to expand and deepen the Avatar universe in exciting and innovative ways along with the films.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cJames Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment changed the way we think about immersive storytelling with the first Avatar, and the ambition that they have for the forthcoming films and this game is really inspiring,\u201d said David Polfeldt, Managing Director, Massive. \u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to work with them and we\u2019re honored that they\u2019ve entrusted us to create an experience worthy of the Avatar name.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cameron and Lightstorm entered this partnership after viewing an early game prototype the team at Massive created using its proprietary Snowdrop engine. Snowdrop is a tailor-made, custom game engine that enables the creation of ultra-realistic game universes, enhanced by dynamic global illumination, stunning real-time destruction and an incredible amount of detail and visual effects. It was used to develop The Division, and also is the engine behind a number of other unannounced Ubisoft projects.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat impressed me about Massive were the group\u2019s passion for this project and the power of its Snowdrop engine,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cI believe Ubisoft\u2019s team at Massive Entertainment are absolutely the right partners to bring the beauty and danger of Pandora to life.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pxTmj0qarII\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Cameron\u2019s Pandora Being Brought to Life on PC and Console by Massive, the Ubisoft Studio Behind Tom Clancy\u2019s The Division PARIS \u2014 February 28, 2016 \u2014 Today, Ubisoft announced it is partnering with Lightstorm Entertainment and FoxNext to create a cutting-edge new game for consoles and PC set on Pandora, the beautiful and dangerous [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4596,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 -
