Developer Massive Entertainment and publisher Ubisoft have announced that Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, the very good 2023 first-person shooter set in the titular world of Pandora, is getting another big update timed to the third anniverary of the game’s launch on December 5 (and the release of the third Avatar movie, Fire and Ash, on December 19) that will add an optional third-person perspective mode as well as a New Game+ mode. Watch the new trailer above.
Massive says it has “reworked animations, controls, audio, and camera systems to ensure the experience feels seamless and intuitive” when playing in third-person perspective. Meanwhile, your inventory and skills will persist when making another run through the campaign in New Game+. More powerful gear will be available to put to use against more difficult enemies, and you’ll have a new skill tree to work with.
Previous updates since Frontiers of Pandora released have added a 40fps mode for consoles, “The Sky Breaker” and “Secrets of the Spires” story packs, and a revamped Hunter’s Guide.
