Hello PlayStation Blog readers! Avatar: Pandora’s Frontier A lot of new gameplay debuted in Ubisoft Forward today. Ubisoft is pleased to bring you a little more detail about Pandora and the world of the Western Frontier, directly from the game’s creators.
Avatar: Pandora’s Frontier launches on PlayStation 5 on December 7, and PlayStation players will receive the Aranahe Warrior Pack for free, which will give you an exclusive character and weapon cosmetic set. Developed by Ubisoft studio Massive Entertainment in partnership with James Cameron’s production company Lightstorm Entertainment and Disney, Avatar: Pandora’s Frontier, the player is kidnapped as a child and raised by the Na’vi. You get to play the role of Na’vi, who wakes up on Pandora years later. Humanity’s military enterprise, the Resources Development Authority (RDA). A stranger to Pandora, you must learn what it means to be a Na’vi, considering the RDA and the threat they pose to the homeland you’re only beginning to get acquainted with.
Avatar: Pandora’s Frontier Creative Director Magnus Jansen explains that this push-pull between two different worlds forms the core of the game. “This character has never been associated with Pandora,” he says. “You’ve never set foot there. You don’t know how to be a Na’vi. You have to learn how to be a Na’vi, and that’s a big part of this journey.”
Being a child of two worlds also has practical uses, and your knowledge of humans puts you in a unique position to fight the RDA. “I know how humans think,” says Janssen. “You know their equipment and their techniques, which is a big advantage.”

Avatar: Pandora’s Frontier is an expansion of Avatar lore, and the result was an exciting sense of freedom that Janssen and the team at Massive wanted to reflect in the game itself. rice field.
“When it was clear that Lightstorm didn’t want a game that replayed the events you see in the movies, I got a lot of joy very early on in the project,” says Janssen. “In the world of Avatar, joy comes from discovering and seeing amazing new things.”
With this in mind, Avatar: Pandora’s Frontier takes place in a never-before-seen region of Pandora: the Western Frontier. “Western Frontier hasn’t been covered in other media yet, and we’re excited to take players on a whole new adventure,” Jansen explains.
1st person on the ground, 3rd person in the air
You’ll be traversing the Western Frontier from a first-person perspective, a decision meant to immerse you fully in Na’vi bodies. For Jansen, it all comes down to discovery and a sense of freedom.
“So when I saw the first Avatar many years ago, and when I saw Avatar: The Way of Water, when I saw Pandora for the first time, it almost felt like it was real. Because of the basis for creating it and the quality of it.The rendition is so impressive, it feels like a real place and you want to be there immediately,” says Jansen. say. “I remember walking out of the theater feeling a little sad that I didn’t get to see it.”
“My ultimate central goal is to allow me and you to go to Pandora. The first-person perspective is the best way to immerse yourself in new places. The details and Pandora’s technology, all this otherworldly.” There are a lot of reactive things in , and it makes me want to touch them and see how they react.The first person view is the most tactile and most importantly the most immersive there was,” says Janssen.
However, when you’re airborne on the back of your customizable companion Banshee (Ikran), your perspective switches to third person. This is the core of the Avatar: Pandora’s Frontier experience. “Flying is very important,” says Janssen. “And it meant that we could really do it just right in terms of what the current generation of consoles can do for us, which is how far we can express movement speed.”
The way you customize your Banshee also helps make it feel like it belongs to you. Something that can only be seen properly in third person. “The mission to acquire a Banshee is a central part of becoming a Na’vi. Naming and equipping your Banshee allows you to truly make it your own,” Jansen said. say.
