Interestingly enough, the player will begin not as a native Na'vi per se, but as an orphan raised by the RDA and trained as a soldier willing to do their bidding. Fifteen years later, the player character will wake up from suspended animation to find a long-abandoned RDA facility. Venturing out into the wilderness, it's up to the player to seek out the various Na'vi tribes to fight the RDA across the western fronti
Although Ubisoft may show off more of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 's story and characters ahead of its December 7 release, players won't know for certain just how effectively the game delivers on its promise until they can get their hands on it. The experience is certain to be expansive, and weaving a strong narrative through its world might be a task as difficult as it is promising. For now, fans can take comfort in the fact that _Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora _ has set itself up for success with a choice of protagonist that offers significant potential for the best player experie
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora isn't the first attempt at bringing the world of Pandora to life in a video game, with Avatar: The Game initially launching as a movie tie-in slightly ahead of the first film's release in 2009. Without the same luxuries of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 's development delays , the original game brought interesting ideas to the table but failed to deliver on its maximum potential. Rather than bridging the Na'vi and RDA experience in one protagonist, Avatar: The Game opted to allow two different paths, with players choosing to fight for the Na'vi or RDA in the battle for the pla
While venturing across Pandora, players will be sure to see many of the different sights of Pandora's diverse environment. The Aranahe clan live among the floating rocks known as the Rookery, giving players a rare chance to see these unique sights up close. Players will be able to explore the plains with the Zeswa clan, while the Kame'tire clan will give players the chance to explore the more dense Clouded For
Although underwater, Subnautica is still a beautiful game , and exploring all the amazingly created wildlife as well as expanding the player's underwater base will certainly keep many occupied until the release of Avat
In the upcoming action-adventure title fans of the franchise will be able to experience what they have always dreamed of becoming , and that is being part of the Na'Vi people. This means that according to Ubisoft players will be exploring Pandora while being a huge blue cat-like per
The Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora approach might even improve on some criticisms of the film by getting away from the baggage of a "white savior" narrative, setting a Na'vi on the path to be the hero of her people rather than a character from another world. Her unfamiliarity with her own planet will let players experience the thrill of a first flight like Jake Sully's banshee ride in the original film without having to retread the movie's central gimmick. The word "avatar" may not even be particularly relevant here, but the focus on finding a way to reveal a new world to the audience is definitely being targeted once m
This edition is intended for the most hardcore of Avatar fans, retailing at $229.99 . According to the official Ubisoft website, this will only be available in some regions through select retailers. The confirmed retailers for the US, UK, and Australia are GameStop, Game, and EB Games, respectively. In other countries, Ubisoft advises checking availability with local retail
One of the draws of Frontiers of Pandora will undoubtedly be flying through Pandora on the back of one of the flying beasts named Toruk. From the Hallelujah Mountains to the various Na’vi settlements to the RDA colonies scattered around the world, there are many different large areas that could be turned into discoverable regions. However, transportation like the Toruk could be locked either behind high XP levels or through microtransacti
Just like in both films, the main antagonist in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will be the human-led Resources Development Administration, or the RDA . Having traveled to Pandora decades before the events of the game, the RDA has the goal of exploiting the natural resources of Pandora. Naturally, the many Na'vi clans have banded together to protect their h
The content related to and based on the world of The Way of Water may end up being sold separately as a result. There’s no information about what areas will be available at launch, but given the production cycle, the team at Ubisoft has probably had less time to work on water-based exploration. Everything related to the film’s sequel releasing later this year might have to be DLC or map packs due to its departure from the first film’s source mater
