Remember when Avatar came out of nowhere, became the biggest movie of all time for a bit, then disappeared for a decade. Well, that’s still the case, but a new video game should remind everybody that the franchise still exists!
Avatar: Reckoning is an MMO FPS based on James Cameron’s film coming to mobile devices later this year. According to a press release, it’s a role-playing shooter like Destiny where players will run around Pandora (the planet) to battle RDA troops and spectacular creatures. Avatar: Reckoning will be playable in both single-player and co-op modes.
Archosaur Games is the developer on this one. The studio is best known for World Of Kings and Naval Creed: Warships. Apparently, Avatar: Reckoning will be using Unreal Engine 4, the same tech that powers Fortnite and loads of other games.
There’s no gameplay or trailer for Avatar: Reckoning yet, but the concept art below is neat.

While some fans are probably upset Avatar: Reckoning isn’t a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S title, it might still be worth checking out. After all, even some console classics work perfectly on mobile devices these days.
