Before moviegoers return to Pandora, they’ll be able visit the fantastical alien world from Avatar on their smartphones.
Lightstorm Entertainment and 20th Century Fox have enlisted mobile game studio Kabam to develop an Avatar adventure for release ahead of the next four film sequels.
The multiplayer strategy game is scheduled to debut in 2018 before the second Avatar film hits theatres. Kabam plans to update the game as the sequels unfurl every other year through 2023.
The original 2009 film centred on the conflict between humans and the blue-skinned alien race Na’vi on Pandora.
The developers have been collaborating with the artists working on the next Avatar instalments.
The game’s plot will be separate from the films and will allow players to make decisions that will affect the narrative.
