The launch of James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game is growing ever nearer, with release dates of December 1st and 4th set for North America and Europe respectively, which is less than a week away.

To get better acquainted with a lesser known aspect of Avatar: The Game, the multiplayer, Ubisoft has been kind enough to release a trailer showcasing some footage from this mode, as well as some screenshots to have a look at.

From the looks of the trailer, the multiplayer is fast, furious and explosive, and it’ll be interesting to see what kinds of strengths and weaknesses each of the playable races will have, and how those differences affect the outcome of online matches.
