James Cameron’s Avatar videogame will be released in the U.S. on December 1st and in Europe on December 4th. It will be released on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, DS, Wii, and PSP.

The release date for the videogame coincides to exactly two weeks before the big-budget 3D science fiction film epic. Videogame fans can even see the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions in 3D at home on their game consoles, if they have the proper set-up for it (it will require a HDMI output and a 120Hz capable set in order to display 3D effects).

Here’s what James Cameron himself had to say about about the Avatar videogame.

“For the movie ‘Avatar’ we are creating a world rich in character, detail, conflict and cultural depth. It has the raw material for a game that the more demanding gamers of today will want to get their hands on – one that is rich in visuals and ideas, and challenging in play. I told the Ubisoft team I wanted them to be free to do their very best work, and not think of this as a movie-based game. They responded with a fully realized presentation which captured the soul of the world and the characters, while promising to be a knockout game on its own terms. Their passion inspired my confidence that they are going to do something transcendental.”

Here is a combat trailer for the Avatar videogame.
