Ubisoft's Avatar game has at last incorporated two long-awaited improvements, proving that better late than never still rings true.
After much anticipation, Ubisoft has announced that a free update for their open-world action-adventure game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, will be releasing on December 5, 2025. This update, which coincides with the game's third anniversary, brings two highly requested features: a third-person mode and a New Game+ mode.
The third-person mode allows players to experience Pandora from a new perspective, with reworked animations, controls, audio, and camera systems for a seamless experience. This feature was something that some players had wanted since the game's launch, as they felt that the first-person view was too restrictive. The third-person mode brings a new sense of scale, freedom, and immersion to the game.
The New Game+ mode enables players to replay the story with all previously acquired skills and inventory. This mode faces players with tougher enemies and offers a new skill tree and stronger gear to enhance the gameplay challenge. The New Game+ mode was not available at the launch of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, but it has been eagerly awaited by fans.
This update is available for all platforms the game launched on, including PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It's worth noting that this update arrives two weeks before the release of the next Avatar movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, on December 19, 2025.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was initially released in 2022 and received mixed reviews. However, the development team has been working tirelessly to improve the game, and this update is a testament to their dedication. The game's recreation of Pandora is undeniably beautiful, and with these new features, it promises to offer an even more immersive experience.
The Avatar Project, later known as Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, was announced many years ago by Ubisoft. The project was being developed by Massive, the creators of The Division franchise, ensuring a high level of quality and attention to detail.
In conclusion, the third-person mode and New Game+ update for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a significant milestone for the game. It offers players a fresh perspective on Pandora and a new level of challenge, making it an exciting time for fans of the game.
