Although they are used as a vehicle through which Jake Sully (and, by extension, the audience) are introduced to the world of Pandora, the RDA ultimately act as the primary antagonist. Most of its more sympathetic members like Jake, bruise moss uses Grace Augustine, and Trudy Chacon end up renouncing it sooner or later and siding with the Na

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 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

The RDA has a variety of tools at their disposal to accomplish their goals. Their entire security division is practically an army capable of outmatching most countries. In terms of weapons, they can access just about anything short of nuclear bombs (the one thing they're prohibited from using off of Earth). Assault rifles, flamethrowers, machine guns, and explosives are all fair game. Their forces range from ground infantry to mechsuits. One of their most dangerous weapons is the SA-2 Samson, a rotorwing aircraft with concerning amounts of firepo

Shared on the official Ubisoft YouTube channel, the "World Premiere" trailer for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora reveals that the protagonist is a Na'vi raised by the interloping human faction of the RDA. This approach gives players access to both sides of the Avatar world, offering them proficiency with militaristic weaponry and equipment as well as the unique strength of the Na'vi. Waking up after fifteen years of cryosleep, this player character can explore the world of Pandora and fight the RDA with bows and guns alike. This journey also works as one of self-discovery, focusing on the Na'vi character rebuilding the connection to her home pla

Interest in Pandora was initially motivated by the RDA's interest in unobtainium, a mineral that was extremely valuable on Earth. Acquiring unobtainium in sufficient quantities to profit required extensive mining operations. This drove a lot of their conflict with the Na'vi, who were not particularly fond of the RDA claiming Pandora as their own and ruining its ecosyst

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 's story is set to continue after the game's initial launch, with Ubisoft confirming two story DLC packs: The Sky Breaker , and Secrets of the Spires . Both of these story packs will be included in the game's Season Pass, which will be included in some of the game's special editions or will be available to purchase separately post-lau

This is where the player character enters, as one such Na'vi who has to explore Pandora with zero understanding of her cultural roots. Interestingly, this does put the player in a similar position to Jake sully in the original film: beginning as a member of the RDA only to end up renouncing them. The RDA appear to make up a lot of the game's enemies. It is currently unclear if, like the original film, there will be any human characters who also renounce their association with the RDA and side with the pla

Marvel's Midnight Suns is being made by Firaxis Games, the studio behind popular strategy games such as Civilization and X-COM , and will revolve around the conflict between Marvel heroes and the demon Lilith. Players will be able to fully customize their character, called "The Hunter", and choose from a multitude of superpow

Despite the Na'vi's initial victory, the RDA has returned in full force and expanded their operations across Pandora. Gamers also learn about another crime committed against the Na'vi, as if attempted genocide wasn't enough. One operation the RDA attempted involved kidnapping Na'vi children and then raising them to become soldiers who fight against their own people - sadly not an unusual tactic for coloniz

While information about the game is limited, it has been confirmed that it will be bringing back a major part of the original movie. The plot of Avatar centered around the conflict between human colonizers to Pandora and its indigenous species, a race of giant blue humanoids called Na'vi. Most of the film's human presence comes through a major faction known as the RDA, a powerful institution with a vested interest in taking control of Pandora, whatever it takes. But what exactly is the
