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:

Quote from: Archosaur Games
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.

Update: If you're in Canada, you can sign up for a closed beta sometime in Q1 of this year. http://avatarreckoning.com/

This is *wild*. I can sort of maybe see it. But overall I found this to a bit weird given the vibes and message of the movie.
I wonder also why mobile and not PC or Console? Would actually have been cool to make it be xplat but eh.

I still might check it out, cuz what if it's actually good? This has potential to be the only game I play on mobile. I never game on mobile hrh

Thanks for sharing!

EDIT: I think maybe this was to show more of the RDA back story on Pandora? I think most of what we know about that has come from some previous video games. Not a whole ton was revealed in the film itself unless you count some hefty deleted scenes... I wonder what story elements this one will have to contribute to the canon. (I assume this is Canon, anyway?)

Yeah, it really is. I wonder about it too. Anyway I am curious how it will be.

With Frontiers of Pandora, Pandora Rising and now Reckoning all coming out in a similar window, it all seems like a coordinated IP push to make sure there are other ways to engage with the AVATAR property than just the films by the time A2 comes out. Personally, I enjoy mobile games (currently playing Wild Rift off and on, and was pretty heavily into Clash Royale), so this is definitely a market I'm interested in.

More as it develops, for sure.

Makes sense. Seems like they're casting a wider net. Seems like a good move

Nice! Thanks for the update. Somehow I totally missed that when checking out the site earlier.

Damn. Another beta not available in the US. :(

Hey if you're reading this from Canada, y'all gotta let us know what's up with this game and your thoughts! ;D
