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

Magnus Jansen: Right. So to me, when I watched the movies, especially the first one all those years ago, I came out of the movie theater and I had this feeling that I had been to a place, because the world was so - the crafting was so qualitative with such detail, not just in the technical expression and realization, but in all the backstory and the clans. And everything just was so well-made that it felt like a real place. And that's immersion - it's escapism, pure escapism. You're transported somewhere. And that kind of escapism I think is super powerful, and one of the big reasons I play video games. And to go to a place and be there, I think it's essential that it has a good balance of danger, but also just niceness to hang

There are some interesting notes here, including the fact that the Nintendo Switch or upcoming Nintendo Switch Pro will not be getting some variant on the title. It does appear that the game will launch on all of these platforms at the same time though, meaning there are no delays for PC play

As is the case with many games of the same genre, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features a skill tree that unlocks as players progress through the game, unlocking powers and "instincts" that help them to analyze and strategically plan their attacks, as well as surviving, and reuniting with the Na’vi clans and the aforementioned creatures that inhabit Pandora. There is also a crafting system to make items and weapons, with better resources available the more Pandora begins to heal, merging the protagonist's knowledge of technology with the more traditional tribal weaponry of the Na'vi, which will assist players in their advent

At Ubisoft's E3 Forward event, the first glimpse of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was shown. The game will draw from James Cameron's critically acclaimed avatar frontiers of pandora director's Cut film and is confirmed to be a first-person action-adventure game. In it, the player will step into the shoes of a Na'vi and explore the Western side of the planet, which has never been seen before. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is exclusively a next-gen title, and it looks like Ubisoft intends to take full advantage of t

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is primarily a first-person open-world action-adventure game. It does, however, appear to have moments of third-person gameplay when taming and utilizing the creatures on Pandora such as the flying Ikran or the Zakru of the upper planes as mounts to traverse the world of Pandora, with the Ikran also assisting with aerial combat against the RDA. Players will also be able to visit the tribe's Hometree and use it as a refuge to rest and learn from the others who inhabit

Screen Rant: First, I would just love to talk about what your process was like balancing, taking inspiration from James Cameron's world, while also managing to make something that differentiates itself and makes the experience feel fresh and new at the same time. What was that l

The other thing is somewhat more broad, but I think just the depth of execution we did on all of the Na'vi clans. There's three clans, one for each region. Our rainforest region is called the Kinglor forest in the Na'vi terms, but as a dev, we've always called it the rainforest region. And then to our upper plains region or the grasslands region, which is completely different, a completely different clan. Their culture is different, they have different food stuffs, they have different crafts, they have different people, they have a different attit

And I think there are these milestones when we have our very first cutscene that we got in. It was with Etuwa, who is one of the lead characters in the game, an Aranahe. She's the Tsahik of the rainforest clan that you meet early on in the game. I still remember that. That particular cutscene doesn't exist because we changed the script slightly, but I remember that very, very well when I saw that. So getting the performance capturing and doing that was amaz

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

Set in the never-before-seen Western Frontier of Pandora, Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora takes place fifteen years after the events of the first Avatar film and prior to The Way of Water in a time when humanity has returned to Pandora to continue exploiting its resources. The Na'vi protagonist finds themselves free of the RDA, but also a stranger in their own birthplace. Over the course of the game's main campaign, players will witness the Na'vi reconnecting with their lost heritage as a Sarentu - a tribe of which they bear a mark upon their face - while learning from the memories of their ancestors, and discovering what it truly means to be Na’vi, while joining forces with other clans to protect Pand
