Several new home video editions of James Cameron’s Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water will launch later this month. The biggest of the new releases are the new Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water 4K Collector’s editions, which feature multiple versions of the films plus tons of all-new special features. There are also new steelbook versions and 3D Blu-ray releases as well–and all of them launch on December 19, just in time for a last-minute holiday gift.
Let’s unpack all the upcoming Avatar and Avatar: Way of Water releases and where you can preorder them.
Preorder Avatar: The Way of Water 4K Collector's edition
$42-$45
Avatar: The Way of Water 4K Collector’s edition is a four-disc box set that includes the movie in 4K UHD, standard Blu-ray, and digital formats. You also get eight hours of bonus material like behind-the-scenes featurettes, new deleted scenes, and more. The entire set is packaged in a fold-out case featuring unique artwork from the movie.
Avatar: The Way of Water 4K Collector’s Edition will launch on December 19 for $45, but you can preorder it for just $42 at Amazon and Walmart. Preorders are also available for $45 at Best Buy.

The original Avatar film is also getting a new Collector’s Edition on December 19.

Preorders are available for $45 at Best Buy or $50 at Walmart–though we expect one or both retailers will change their prices to match before release.
