Ubisoft's Avatar Game Will Have Ultra Smart NPCs – IGN Daily Fix

July 2, 2021

On today’s IGN The Fix: Games, Brian’s got the latest on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Ubisoft will leverage Massive’s Snowdrop engine to create NPCs that more realistically understand and react to changes in the world around them, like weather, or your own progression through the game. Fans are still ravenous for more Samus after Nintendo’s E3 2021 direct, showing off Metroid Dread. Fans are so hungry for more, that the announcement has caused a huge spike in Wii U game sales of past Metroid titles. And finally, Insomniac Games has been on fire with games like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but it seems that the studio is recruiting talent with a focus on multiplayer game development.
