How Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora immerses players in Pandora, launching December 7

Post by SONY »


Hi PlayStation Blog readers! Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora debuted a bunch of new gameplay in today’s Ubisoft Forward. Here at Ubisoft, we’re thrilled to bring you a little more insight into the world of Pandora and the Western Frontier directly from the game’s creators.  

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will launch on PlayStation 5 on December 7, and PlayStation players will receive the Aranahe Warrior Pack for free, which grants them exclusive character and weapon cosmetic sets. Developed by Massive Entertainment – a Ubisoft Studio in collaboration with James Cameron’s production company Lightstorm Entertainment and Disney, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora lets players take on the role of a Na’vi who awakens on Pandora years after being abducted as a child and raised by the Resources Development Administration (RDA), a human militaristic corporation.  Now a stranger on Pandora, you must learn what it means to be a Na’vi while reckoning with the RDA and the threat they pose to the birthplace you are only just becoming familiar with.

However, your perspective switches to third-person when you’re in the air, on the back of your very own customizable companion banshee, or ikran, which is pivotal to the core Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora experience. “Soaring through the skies is so key,” says Jansén. “And what the current generation of consoles has allowed us to do – with regards to how far we can render the speeds at which we can travel – meant we could really do it justice.”   

The way that you’ve customized your banshee, too, helps make it feel like it belongs to you; something that can only properly be seen in third-person. “The mission where you get your banshee is a central part of becoming a Na’vi, and you’ll get to really make it yours by naming it, equipping it with gear, and more,” says Jansén.
