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

And then finally I would say, we got our big ray tracing, the sort of lighting engine upgrade came in around 2020 or 2019. That all sort of was rolled out in a big capacity, a big addition to Snowdrop. And that just changed the look of the forest completely to the better in an amazing way. So that was also just a huge milestone that I remem

The most significant bit of lore introduced in The Way of Water is arguably the existence of tribes outside the forest Na'vi from the first film. Jake Sully and his family are forced to take refuge with the water Na'vi, learning their ways and customs as they attempt to blend

Set in the never-before-seen Western Frontier of Pandora, avatar frontiers of pandora becoming find nor: 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

Assassin's Creed might be a flagship franchise for Ubisoft, but it is far from the only thing the studio is working on at the moment. One of the most anticipated and peculiar items on Ubisoft's 2022 release calendar is undoubtedly Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora , an action FPS taking place in the same world as James Cameron's hit 2009 film. Not much is known about the game other than the fact that it will be an open-world adventure with a narrative that doesn't directly tie into the Avatar movie or its upcoming sequel, along with some other miscellaneous and cursory details about aspects like graphics, game systems, and traver

Magnus Jansen: It's a great question or a train of thought, because this was something that was very important to us from the start. Because starting out, it's no secret if you know anything about video games history that when that movie-licensed video games or any licensed video game can be - it can turn out bad if you're just looking for a quick cash grab or just a quick thing. And I'm super happy to say now, especially back then when we started, that in the first meetings with Lightstorm, James Cameron's production company, it was super clear that they did not want to do that, a bad game or a quick, "Let's just you redo the movie and so Hollywood hopefully can get some mon

The good news is that, although it is tied to an existing franchise, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora presents an opportunity for Ubisoft to start fresh with a story and not worry about years of franchise baggage. Since Frontiers of Pandora will not be following film protagonist Jake Sully, Ubisoft can aim for a self-contained, satisfying, and simple story that doesn't overextend itself the same way that Assassin's Creed does with overly complex conspiracies, time travel elements, and poorly planned science-fiction concepts. Ubisoft will probably want to leave the door open for a Frontiers of Pandora sequel, but that doesn't mean that a gratifying and conclusive narrative can't be achieved in a single g

There are features Assassin's Creed can use to bring back old players, but it's clear that many gamers are simply tired of where the series, along with Ubisoft as a company, has been heading. Regardless of what the future of the Assassin's Creed series looks like, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora would be well-served by dodging AC tropes, which have by extension become tropes of Ubisoft as a company. The last thing that many want is another clone of Assassin's Creed ** , so an original, inventive, baggage-free _Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora** _ could be good not only for the gaming community, but for Ubisoft its

Unfortunately, Ubisoft doesn't appear to be interested in toning down microtransactions any time soon, if AC Valhalla and the upcoming live-service Assassin's Creed are any indication. Still, if Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora can resist the urge to commodify collectibles, gear pieces, and in-game currency, tying these resources to real-world money, it would result in a game that is much less frustrating and more focused on offering a fun experience over one that has the most profit potential. The game would also avoid the problems that Assassin's Creed games face when it comes to pac

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
