In a September 2022 interview withIGN, Cameron, 69, said he’s excited about the game and the opportunity to build on theAvatarfranchise in a new and different way. “We’re very excited about what Ubisoft is doing with their game authoring,” he told the outlet.
“I don’t tell them what to do — they know their world, their business, their market. We just keep a close eye that they don’t do anything that’s not canonical in terms of Na’vi culture and what the RDA is doing on Pandora and all that sort of thing,” he continued.
