Broadly, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will be a first-person game that players can also fully experience in co-op. As mentioned, the game is also set in a vast open-world which means it will have quite a bit in common with some of Ubisoft’s other biggest franchises. It’s here that players will be able to travel about, meet fellow Na’vi, craft various items, and fight back against the villainous RDA.
The story of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will take place 15 years after the events of the original movie. Players will be able to create their own Na’vi character that will be let loose to explore the western region of Pandora, which has yet to be showcased on the Avatar film series. Unlike other Na’vi, though, the player-controller protagonist grew up with the RDA, which means that they have a background in using human weapons and technology. As such, they’ll have a wide arrange of Na’vi and human gear at their disposal throughout the experience.
As for its release date, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is poised to launch at the end of this year on December 7. The game will also be exclusive to current-gen platforms which means it will only come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
