At Germany's gamescom show this week, Ubisoft debuted a new teaser trailer for Avatar: The Game -- the videogame project based on director James Cameron's high budget 3D movie.

We've posted the trailer below so you can try and get a sense of what the game will offer when it releases at the end of this year.

The videogame will take you deep into the heart of Pandora, an alien planet that is beyond imagination. Gamers will encounter the Na'vi, Pandora's indigenous people and discover other life forms the likes of which have never been seen in the world of video games before. When conflict erupts between the RDA Corporation, a space-faring consortium in search of valuable resources, and the Na'vi, gamers will find themselves thrust into a fight for the heart of a planet and the fate of a civilization.

Bryn says: The second half of the movie really seems to heat up in terms of action, and from the brief glimpse it provides, this game looks like a tripped-out Halo in terms of visuals. The project is being kept tightly under wraps, as is the movie and its script.

All too often videogame movie tie-ins fall short of the mark but this is one game that seems to have real potential behind it. The amount of dollars likely being thrown at the project will hopefully see justice done.
