After a long time in development, James Cameron's Avatar 2 is finally releasing in theatres this year, and accompanying it is (provided that neither are delayed) Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Set on the same planet of Pandora that moviegoers in 2009 loved, players will be given the opportunity to play as the Na'vi and explore the lush, beautiful world, while also fighting against the villainous

The prime example is the Hallelujah Mountains, featured in the Avatar film . The Hallelujah Mountains are essentially just floating mountains, but that's oversimplifying it. The mountains are suspended by a powerful magnetic current and slowly rotate, occasionally crashing into each other and creating large deposits of Unobtanium. The mountains are sometimes shrouded in mist because of the abundant waterfalls cascading off of the cli

Magnus Jansen: I really love the banshee and the way we made it like a really special companion. Of course, you can pet it, but it has a favorite food, for instance, that you don't know about. And it's randomized for all players, so all players will have a different favorite food, and then you have to feed it. And you get to name it, and then you call it that name. You get to pick how it looks, and then you get to dress it up. And that sounds childish, but it is childish. I love it. I love that you get to play with it like that. So I think the banshee is truly a joy at all times. And then you talk to it when you fly, and it's like you say, "Good job Floof," or whatever you decided to name it. [Lau

However, it too had a noticeable drawback, and that was a lack of general combat encounters. Across those four main missions we completed, assaulting that base was the only time we ever really drew a bow or a gun for combat purposes. We could hunt a few creatures while exploring Pandora, but that was using a bow to get good shots similar to how Assassin's Creed 3 handles hunting . Even looting the animal leads to the main character saying a few words in commemoration and thanks. Yet, we only encountered one very small and short combat encounter when exploring the world, leading to it feeling like there's a lot of downtime and not allowing the combat to live up to its sheer potential. It could be the full game is different, but this sequence of missions and areas did lean more heavily into exploration than its com

Story-wise, the four main missions we did involved us aiding the Aranahe clan of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora in resolving an issue with the Klingor, bonding with our Ikran, taking down some flying machines of the Sky People, and assaulting one of their bases. Climbing the Ikran Rookery really put the environmental design to the test, giving us a circular chasm to climb and run up through where we interacted with some of the aforementioned flora, did a fun bouncing puzzle, and took giant leaps from place to place. It's such a simple task to give a player, but one that shines in terms of vertical gameplay des

One of the best things about the first game was how it blended a strong narrative and enjoyable stealth gameplay, and fans are undoubtedly expecting that again from the sequel. Combat can be expected to play a bigger part, as promotional images show Emelia with a crossbow, suggesting that she won't be as helpless as in the first g

In Ubisoft's Frontiers of Pandora , it's important that the Banshee rite of passage is included as a story element. Climbing the mountain to claim a Banshee is one of the most important moments in a Na'vi tribe member's life, and it would be a huge missed opportunity to not allow players to claim their own Banshee and become an official member. It's a rite of passage for both the character and for the pla

As to be expected, the new clans of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will also have their own sets of special skills, many of which will be passed down to the player. The Aranahe clan is known for weaving clothes and fabrics, and will be the tutorial for players learning how to hunt and fly. In the Upper Plains, players will be able to learn how to tame Direhorses thanks to the Zeswa clan. The Kame'tire clan are known for their skills at healing, though due to their mysterious ways, what they'll be able to teach the player may remain unknown for the time be

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
