One of the best parts about Assassin's Creed is the fact that it transports players to exciting historical settings. While seeing these unique time periods and locations is an at-times thrilling novelty, the games simply don't have the narrative chops to serve interesting stories in these settings. This is to say nothing of the overarching, long-running Assassin's Creed story , which is confusing and boring at best and nonsensical at wo

After two films and several years, the world of Pandora will finally be open to explore in the upcoming video game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora . The game will feature the yet-to-be-seen Western Frontier of James Cameron's wondrous alien planet. Playing as an orphaned Na'vi, players will venture out into the wild and interact with the many Na'vi clans in hopes of helping them with their fight against the

Although Ubisoft may show off more of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 's story and characters ahead of its December 7 release, players won't know for certain just how effectively the game delivers on its promise until they can get their hands on it. The experience is certain to be expansive, and weaving a strong narrative through its world might be a task as difficult as it is promising. For now, fans can take comfort in the fact that _Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora _ has set itself up for success with a choice of protagonist that offers significant potential for the best player experie

Although this angle isn't without its own benefits, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 's approach holds more inherent potential. Avatar: The Game failed to explore the sin of supporting the RDA's conquest in a particularly robust way. This isn't a particularly surprising shortcoming, Akoray's Hairstyle as the split development priority in telling two sides of the story would inherently make it more difficult to make either one hit as hard as it possibly could. Honing in on one perspective that encompasses both gameplay experiences merges the benefits of either playthrough while allowing Massive Entertainment to focus on perfecting a singular narrat

Ubisoft is planning on releasing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora _ some time this year, but the famous gaming company should take care not to repeat its **_Assassin's Creed ** mistakes with this title. The massive French studio has remixed and revamped its globe-trotting historical action franchise in many ways over the past decade, and not always for the best. The gaming community has leveled no shortage of complaints and criticisms against this franchise, mostly as it pertains to microtransactions, bloated game design, bugs, and repetitive gameplay mechanics. There is even a sentiment that Ubisoft lied about AC Valhalla fixes , as that game was meant to mark a return to stealth-based gameplay but did

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora isn't the first attempt at bringing the world of Pandora to life in a video game, with Avatar: The Game initially launching as a movie tie-in slightly ahead of the first film's release in 2009. Without the same luxuries of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 's development delays , the original game brought interesting ideas to the table but failed to deliver on its maximum potential. Rather than bridging the Na'vi and RDA experience in one protagonist, Avatar: The Game opted to allow two different paths, with players choosing to fight for the Na'vi or RDA in the battle for the pla

Players got a small sneak peek of what combat might look like in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora during the release trailer, where a Na'vi drops onto a Banshee and begins fighting modern enemy aircrafts. Aerial combat should be primarily ranged and archery was showcased, but the options expand from there. Some combat was shown in the trailer, but none of it was in first-person so it's not clear yet what the gameplay will look l

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

While Pandora is home to many plants and animals, the primary inhabitants of the planet are the Na'vi people. The Na'vi are spread out throughout the planet in several clans , and players will be coming into contact with several brand-new clans in the game. Thanks to Frontiers of Pandora , players will be able to experience the world of Avatar like they've never seen bef

Just in this one location, there are a ton of exploration opportunities. The placement and landscape of the Hallelujah Mountains are constantly changing, and because Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora promises to show players entirely new areas of the planet, there's no telling how much more there is to see. Without Banshees, locations like the Hallelujah Mountains would be impossible to reach, but with them a wealth of new opportunities should become available. Players will want to explore every inch of the beautiful game world, and Banshees are the perfect otherworldly steed to travel w
