Additionally, the Ikran is fully customizable. Players get to name it and, presumably, modify its appearance. The exact range of options has not been disclosed yet, but it would probably at the very least include being able to change colors. This means that not only can the player get their own Ikran, they can personalize it to better fit their game experie

Mimicking the set-piece battles in the films, you will engage the RDA's airborne vehicles in combat while flying on ikrans. You can wield your bow and target weak points on the Samsons or any other aircraft that might appear in the game.

You can perform tricks and spins with the ikran mounts in the air, and they'll even have customizations. When riding your mount, there's an interesting shift in perspective. You tame the direhorse or ikran in the first person, but the perspective automatically switches to the third person as you r

The newest information about Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora comes courtesy of Ubisoft Forward 2023, which highlighted a number of upcoming games from the company and revealed a couple of new trailers from this flagship project. Among the information showcased __ was the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora release date and gameplay, which ranges from harvesting the rich resources of Pandora to militaristic gameplay that recalls the Tom Clancy's The Division Movie-Based Video Games that Massive Entertainment is known for. All of these features look promising, but the biggest standout might be the angle the game's story takes to immerse the player in the wo

The World Premiere trailer and the accompanying overview trailer, also available on the Ubisoft YouTube channel, highlight both angles of combat and a number of other Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora gameplay features that this perspective offers. One shot highlights an explosive takedown of a helicopter with a rocket launcher seamlessly followed by a midair strike with a bow, establishing that these abilities are meant to be used in tandem to maximize gameplay potential. Some players may ultimately prefer to stick with the familiar military technique or fully embrace the Na'vi style, but either choice or any mixture should be readily availa

The use of a Na'vi protagonist with an RDA background takes an important lesson from James Cameron's Avatar movies, which follow the originally human character Jake Sully on his journey in Na'vi society in a Na'vi body. Entering with this perspective allows the audience to experience Pandora through the eyes of someone equally unfamiliar with its wonders, minimizing any possible disconnect in the highly sensory experience while focusing the story around the Na'vi rather than the comparatively familiar RDA. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 's Na'vi protagonist achieves a similar effect, as the game's exploration can be new for both the player and in-game character without losing out on the Na'vi an

With that said, gamers more or less know what to expect from a Ubisoft game in 2022, as countless memes mocking Ubisoft Assassin's Creed -esque clutter , bloat, and microtransactions have surfaced over the past few years. Whether players enjoy this approach to game design or not, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora needs to avoid taking the same approach if Ubisoft hopes to set it apart from the rest of its prolific catalog. For this upcoming Avatar game to be enjoyable and memorable, it needs to steer clear of many tropes laid out and popularized by the modern Assassin's Creed relea

You can see your character stealthily moving around different kinds of RDA facilities that are causing harm to the environment, and they also seem to come with alarm boxes you'll need to disable by pulling out the wiring. This FPS Far Cry comparison is the most worrying aspect of the ga

According to Ubisoft, a major part of the game will involve the player bonding with an Ikran of their own. This presumably means the game will portray the bonding ritual, though whether it will be playable, shown through cutscenes, or some combination thereof remains to be seen. What matters is the player will get one as a companion and riding it is a big part of gameplay. The official gameplay overview shows Ikran gameplay to include lots of cool stunt work that would definitely make some epic virtual photography, as well as opportunities to use the Ikran to gain an advantage against the R
