New AVATAR Mobile Game Announced

In a surprise piece of news today, @officialavatar revealed that there is another upcoming AVATAR mobile game slated to release later in 2022! Dubbed, "AVATAR: Reckoning", the game is described as a RPG or MMO mobile shooter, depending on where you look. Early concept art for the game places heavy emphasis on the military presence of the RDA on Pandora. Even AVATAR drivers, traditionally more scientist than soldier, are heavily armed in the promotional images, which raises a lot of questions about the setting and plot of the game.

AVATAR: Reckoning is being developed primarily by Archosaur Games and published by Level Infinite, the latter of which is owned by Proxima Beta Pte, the Tencent-owned company behind popular PVP shooter PUBG mobile. The official game synopsis is listed below:

​Avatar: Reckoning will transport players to never-before-seen parts of Pandora where they will meet new Na’vi clans fighting to defend their home, battle powerful RDA troops seeking to exploit the resources of the moon, and encounter spectacular alien creatures – all playable solo or in dynamic multiplayer matches. Players will level up their Avatar character, equip powerful weapons, and battle through single player story missions, co-op and player-vs-player (PvP) game modes with innovative combat tailored for touchscreens."

The announcement raises even more questions about the state of AVATAR: Pandora Rising, a player vs. player strategy game that was announced in September of 2019 and entered open beta in October of the same year. Pandora Rising has since been pulled from all app stores, pending a "rework" of the game in preparation for a global release. No further information has been given.
