And a new leak for Ubisoft, a. After Skull & Bones and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hopeit’s the turn of the publisher’s other big year-end game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, to be the victim of a new leak. Well almost, since we have to take the information to follow with a grain of salt, even if it comes from the very reliable Tom Henderson (him again), who claims to know the release date of the game.
Two big Ubisoft games in just ten days?
I don’t know the release date, btw.
To speculate though, Nov 11th would be my guess.
The next Need for Speed installment is due to launch on November 4th and sources have suggested that the current plan for Ubisoft’s Avatar title is due to launch on November 18th.

In response to the whole affair around God of War Ragnarok this week, the insider revealed the most important information for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. On Twitter, while speculating on the release date of the upcoming Sony exclusive, he then implicitly stated that Ubisoft’s game would be released on November 18.
A date that inevitably raises questions, since according to the latest news, the release of Skull & Bones would be scheduled for November 8 according to the latest rumors. Such a close release for two big titles from the same publisher could seem to be counterproductive, but we must remember that Ubisoft (like other publishers) is accustomed to the practice. Just take a look at the 2020 year-end calendar (with the close releases of Watch Dogs Legion, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Immortals: Fenyx Rising) to find out.
And then we must not forget that Ubisoft must certainly follow a strict schedule given that the game will benefit from the aura and the expectation around the release of the film. Avatar 2: The Waterway. This is why the date of November 18, a month before the film’s release, is clearly possible, even if we will wait for a clear answer from Ubisoft on this subject.
