The UbisoftAvatargame was first announced back in 2017, and due to a lack of news, fans questioned whether or notMassive Entertainment was still working on the game. With its release now confirmed for 2022, fans are excited to see what the developer had come up with. With a project of this magnitude, it’s not unreasonable to think it’s a big undertaking and a resource-heavy project.
