The big distinction from most Ubisoft open-world games is how that map is filled in. While the map showed RDA base areas, they were worked in the background of the map instead of an icon marking their location; in other words, they seemed like a natural part of the map and not something interactive like a radio tower in Far Cry . We also didn't see anything resembling collectibles like relics, lost letters, or anything of the sort during our time with the game. There were fast travel points like Na'vi camps for us to use, but while the map has the size and girth of any typical Ubisoft game, it didn't seem to have the bloat of icons that sometimes overwhelm players. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora also gives players the option of playing in a standard guided mode, where players can use waypoints to mark where they need to travel for some quests, or in a mode where players can only rely on context clues for travel. Either way, players are given context clues like "a giant stone monolith covered in purple flowers" to help narrow down where they are supposed to

A highly ambitious action RPG, Forspoken will have players will step into the shoes of a young woman named Frey Holland who is transported to a fantasy world where she has to use her newly gained magical powers to surv

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

Seemingly, Massive's answer to the long treks is the Ikran flight . This sped up going from destination to destination as soon as it was unlocked, but given we were at least a few hours into the game, it feels like it might be something that comes a little too late for some players. Ikran flight, overall though, is still a lot of fun and may be worth the wait for some players; jumping off a massive mountain, falling for a considerable time, and mounting the Ikran at the last possible second was pure and exhilarating experience. This doesn't abandon the entire "long trek" element of its exploration, but it does shorten it considerably. Furthermore, players are able to name their Ikran, and if players at least go with one of the pre-selected names, the player character will say it in dialogue. We couldn't resist name our Ikran Floof, just adding to the underlying humor found within the g

Game Rant recently had the chance to play Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora for roughly 2.5 hours, completing four main missions, doing a sidequest or two, and exploring the lands. What's immediately clear is how much of the game is designed for exploration, as that was the most novel part of the experience, and that translates over to combat and map design as well. Indeed, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora eschews the typical Ubisoft formula for open-world games for something a little differ

This Avatar game will showcase the new area of the Western Frontier of Pandora, as the second movie revealed the Metkayina Clan's Eastern Sea home of the Reefs. It doesn't look like you'll be able to visit the stunning ocean of the Mekayina, but the Western Frontier has many beautiful locations of its own in st

One member of the RDA has been identified thanks to Ubisoft's gameplay reveal: John Mercer, the man responsible for the player character's predicament . Information about Mercer is currently scarce, but it is known that he oversaw the Na'vi kidnapping operation. He seems to be a high-level executive, possibly taking over from Selfridge. Although his exact role in the story is hard to ascertain, it is a fair assumption that he will be a major antagon

Ragnarok will continue the story of Kratos and his son, now a young adult and not just a "Boy" as his father likes to call him, as they face off against the legendary figures of Norse mythology, such as Thor and Z

Saints Row is an over-the-top, action-packed video game series with many similarities to GTA, that has delved into a more surrealistic nature with every sequel, a shift not liked by many.

With the 20th Century Fox-owned franchise getting acquired by Disney alongside the rest of the studio's properties, it's likely the company will want to take a similar approach to this stunning sci-fi universe as they have with the MCU and Star Wars bra

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

If there is a section of the game that lets players infiltrate the RDA, the possibilities for microtransactions increase substantially. The Avatar Frontiers of pandora dense Bone series already has weapons, helicopters, and other vehicles that have been created specifically for the world of Pandora. Unlocks could include the various assault ships, trucks, and gunships that players could use to take the land and find Unobtanium. Locking these behind paywalls or making them easier to grind toward with a premium currency could make Frontiers of Pandora more like Assassin's Cre
