Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – Europe (Ubisoft Connect)

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora for PC is a first-person action-adventure game. Players take on the character of a Na’vi orphan who was taken in by the RDA (Resources Development Administration – colonists who came to Pandora for rare minerals, amongst other things) and raised as a soldier. The orphan awakens from suspended animation to find that fifteen years has passed, and that they are in an abandoned RDA site.

About the Game

From this point, the player must embark on a journey across the Western Frontier, a part of Pandora not yet seen or explored in the films of the same name. The player must uncover their origins and raise a rebellion of Na’vi against RDA, who are still busily going about gathering up as many of Pandora’s natural resources as they can.

The story arc of the game is loosely tied to the movie’s story arcs, but because the Western Frontier is a previously unexplored territory, it functions very well as a standalone plot. In your guise as a Na’vi, you will spend a fair amount of time hunting, foraging and then cooking up the resulting foods – credit is given for unusual combinations and successful recipes. These peaceful moments can be a pleasant contrast to the actiony bits of the game.

The Nitty Gritty

As well as solo play, this game supports two player co-operative multi-play, so you can get your best friend to be your wing man as you explore Pandora and turn back the forces of the RDA.
As mentioned above, the game is only loosely connected to the movie plotlines, and so you will enjoy a standalone narrative that is quite unrelated to the events seen in the Avatar movies, and you can change outcomes if you disagreed with them – that is always deeply satisfying when it’s possible!

Even though you are a Na’vi of Pandora, your playing character is customisable so you can create your own look. As your character is a disenfranchised orphan, you will have no tribal affiliations to dictate your mode of dress or war paint, etc. As a stranger in your own homeland, it is up to you to remake yourself as you please, even if – later in the game – you rediscover your people.

Where Will You Play?

Within the hitherto unexplored regions of the Western Frontier of Pandora, you will discover three Na’vi clans and try to find a place where you feel at home. They are:

• The Zeswa Tribe: to the north of the Western Frontier, on the Upper Plains you will find this tribe. They live in beautiful rolling hills, somewhat reminiscent of Middle Earth’s Shire, sharing the land with immense Direhorses. You too can learn how to tame and ride one of these huge elephant-sized beasts – but first you have to get the Zeswa to trust you
• The Kame’tire Clan: to the east, as far as it is possible to go, this secretive clan lives in hiding. But you must impose on their hospitality if you are to find your roots…
• The Aranahe Clan: if you long to fly, albeit with the help of a flying beast, head west to the Kinglor Forest (which is beautiful!) below the floating mountains. The Aranahe clan bond with Ikrans, banshees which can be tamed and flown – that is, after you have named and fed it, that is. Once it is yours, you can customise it and explore the beautiful planet from above
