Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora adding third-person mode in new December update

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Publisher Ubisoft and developer Massive Entertainment have announced a new Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora update that adds third-person mode and more to the game.

The new update, which launches on December 5th for all platforms, adds two of the most requested features: the aforementioned third-person mode and a New Game+ mode. To celebrate, the game is up to 70% off for a limited time (varies per platform).

“We’ve always envisioned Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora as a living world that evolves with our players,” said Omar Bouali, creative director at Massive Entertainment in a statement. “This update is a celebration of our community’s passion and we’re thankful to our players for their support. It means the world to our team.”

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has been available since December 2023, for Windows PC (via the Ubisoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. Get our review here!

Here’s a rundown on the update, plus a trailer:

In Third-Person Mode, players can experience Pandora from a new perspective at the push of a button. Whether exploring the Western Frontier, fighting the RDA, or simply taking in the views, Third-Person Mode brings a new sense of scale, freedom, and immersion. The development team has reworked animations, controls, audio, and camera systems to ensure the experience feels seamless and intuitive.

New Game+ offers a fresh challenge for seasoned players looking to dive deeper into the world of Pandora. Players can replay the story of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora while keeping their inventory and skills, facing tougher enemies and unlocking a brand-new skill tree and more powerful gear.

This new update follows Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’s post-launch content, including two story packs (which are unavailable in New Game+):

  • The Sky Breaker, where players join the great Na’vi games and witness the Zakru migration.
  • Secrets of the Spires, introducing a stunning mountainous region designed to elevate the thrill of banshee flight.

Since launch, there have also been quality-of-life updates, including a revamped Hunter’s Guide, smoother 40 FPS mode, and rebalanced combat.
