James Cameron's sequel is expected to be another technological marvel with groundbreaking underwater motion capture footage, and Massive is looking to similarly impress with every version of Frontiers being ray traced.
Additionally, GameSpot reported in 2020 that Ubisoft's then-untitled Avatar game had been delayed (to its current release window) in response to Avatar 2's delay into 2022. A quick rundown of those events can be found at The Game r, which also notes that Frontiers of Pandora was in need of a developer for up to four years before gaining traction at Massive. The initial studio being tapped for an Avatar game is left unnamed by Polfeldt, but that meeting immediately fell through after the studio head allegedly offered cocaine to the visitors from Fox.
Polfeldt also revealed Frontiers of Pandora wasn't always a Ubisoft game in his autobiography, The Dream Architects, and that it only landed at Massive after Fox executives had a disastrous meeting with another studio. Polfeldt was apparently already set to move on to other projects after his sabbatical, so the Avatar game was presumably left in the hands of others, but a key figure leaving can still have unforeseen ramifications. Right around the time Frontiers of Pandora was announced, Massive's managing director David Polfeldt embarked on a six-month sabbatical, and has just recently made this move more concrete by submitting his resignation sometime at the beginning of 2022, according to Nathan Brown, author of Hit Points and former editor at Edge.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a new story in Cameron's fictional setting, and will use new features of Ubisoft's Snowdrop Engine, though neither of these seem to be responsible for any potential delay. The game from Massive Entertainment, published by Ubisoft has similar ambitions. Avatar 2 isn't so much having production troubles, but is supposedly too ambitious to have come any sooner than its current Decemrelease date.
