Embark on an Epic Adventure: Ubisoft Launches Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Worldwide
In an exciting announcement, Ubisoft revealed that the highly anticipated Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is now available worldwide, captivating gamers on Ubisoft+, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Amazon Luna, and PC through Ubisoft Connect. The immersive first-person adventure, developed by Massive Entertainment – a Ubisoft Studio, in collaboration with James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment and Disney, brings the mesmerizing world of Pandora to life.
Priced at $89.99, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora boasts a captivating storyline set in the same timeline as the Avatar films, utilizing the cutting-edge Snowdrop engine to deliver a visually stunning and engaging experience.
Magnus Jansen, Creative Director at Massive, expressed the dedication to authenticity in the game, stating, "From the soundscape of Pandora to the living and reactive open world, every moment of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is designed to keep players immersed in this incredible world." The collaboration with the Avatar filmmakers ensured a faithful extension of the beloved universe while introducing a fresh setting and narrative for players to explore.
Avatar producer Jon Landau highlighted the Avatar universe's vast potential, stating, "The world of Avatar is as rich and diverse as our own. It offers the opportunity for more stories than we could ever explore through feature films." This partnership with Massive Entertainment allows fans to delve into uncharted regions of Pandora and embark on a thrilling journey to become Na'vi.
Luigi Priore, VP of Disney, Pixar, and 20th Century Games, expressed the privilege of contributing to the game, noting, "With Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, players will be able to experience an epic original story while exploring the world of Pandora in a way that's only possible in games."
Brenda Panagrossi, Vice President of Global Brand at Ubisoft, added, "Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora delivers an immersive expansion of Pandora that both Avatar and fans of action-adventure games will enjoy, from soaring through clouds on a banshee to overpowering enemies in combat to exploring the beautiful and dangerous Western Frontier - the game truly has all the ingredients of a fantastic blockbuster experience. "
Set in the Western Frontier, an unexplored continent, players can venture into Pandora and experience new Na'vi clans, exotic flora, and fauna. The narrative unfolds as players, abducted as children and raised away from Na'vi culture in an RDA training program, return to protect their homeland from the human militaristic RDA corporation. A tale of reconnecting with Na'vi heritage, uniting clans, and standing against the RDA unfolds in a vast, vibrant, open world.
Players will encounter unique clans, hone their "Na'vi Senses," master their strength, and upgrade skills to resist the RDA. Traditional Na'vi weapons, such as bows and spear-throwers, add a layer of authenticity to combat, while a deep connection with a banshee introduces aerial combat dynamics.
Customization is pivotal as players can personalize their characters, adapting body types, voices, and equipment. The journey across the Western Frontier enables players to craft better weapons, upgrade skills, and bond with their banshee companions.
The Aranahe Warrior Pack is free for PlayStation players, while Season Pass owners can enjoy a bonus quest at launch, with two-story packs scheduled for 2024. Ubisoft+ subscribers can access The Ultimate Edition, featuring the season pass, digital artbook, Sarentu Heritage cosmetic pack, and Sarentu Hunter equipment pack, valued at $169.99.
To enhance the immersive experience, the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – Original Game Soundtrack, featuring music by Emmy-nominated conductor Pinar Toprak, is available for streaming and purchase from December 8, allowing players to be transported to Pandora even outside the gaming world. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora promises an unforgettable journey through uncharted territories, blending storytelling and gameplay in a blockbuster gaming experience.
