Sony revealed an inventory of all of the present and upcoming video games with which they’ve advertising offers and there have been a pair of surprises on there. The first was the looks of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, implying there could also be some kind of unique content material coming for PS5 consoles. The second was the absence of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
A deal for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
This is the primary time we’ve heard of a advertising deal between Sony and Ubisoft for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

Seeing as Avatar is a single-player sport and is releasing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia, Amazon Luna, and PC (subsequently it’s not a console unique), it makes extra sense for the advertising deal to incorporate unique content material for Playstation gamers than it does for some other goal.

A sport that was conspicuously absent was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
