Amidst a conflict between a space consortium and a planet's primitive indigents, players will customise weapons, choose skills, and ride vehicles and honking great beasts.

Novelly, Avatar supports stereoscopic 3D--which Cameron believes is "is the next big thing"--through both stereoscopic glasses and super high-end stereoscopic televisions.

Avatar: The Game is scheduled for release in December on PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, PSP and Wii, tying in with the film's December 18 launch date.
