Ubisoft announced the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora release date at the Ubisoft Forward 2023 event, alongside a new trailer for the open-world game. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will launch on Dec. 7, 2023, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
James Cameron made an appearance and commented on how it was always his plan to tell new Avatar stories outside the movie theater.
“Our vision has always been to embrace technology and find new ways outside the cinema to help people embrace this world,” Cameron said.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora tells a new story in the Avatar world, with new characters, flora, and fauna. You play as a Na’vi child abducted by the RDA and trained in human ways. The RDA wants to turn Na’vi children against their people, but events unfold, and you end up in a state of cryosleep for 15 years. You re-emerge in a world polluted by the RDA and need to re-connect with your Na’vi heritage, which means convincing your fellow Na’vi that you aren’t a threat.
Frontiers of Pandora unfolds across a vast open world, with different Na’vi tribes calling each region home. You’ll visit nomads living in peaceful coexistence with giant beasts on the open plain and mysterious healers in a dark forest who prefer to hide in its misty depths instead of roaming the world, and they all have something to teach you in your fight against the RDA.
The RDA set up outposts across the western frontier, polluting the land and corrupting its resources. You can use a combination of Na’vi weapons and RDA combat styles to take these outposts down, and when you do, the pollution gradually vanishes. The world comes back to life, and you can harvest new, powerful resources to craft useful items and more.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora lets you play the entire campaign alone or with one friend thanks to online multiplayer.
