Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora released back in late 2023 to a somewhat mixed reception, with the open-world game from Ubisoft Massive being praised for its visuals, though critiqued for its relative mundanity. In a surprise and unexpected announcement, Ubisoft has revealed that Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is getting a massive update later this year.

In alignment with the game’s upcoming anniversary (and the expected release of the 3rd Avatar film), Ubisoft has announced that Frontiers of Pandora will be getting a massive free update on the 5th of December, taking to its socials to say:

“Experience the Western Frontier from a new perspective, with the new Third Person mode, New Game+ and quality of life improvements.”

Explaining these upcoming additions in more depth, Frontiers of Pandora’s Creative Director Omar Bouali confirmed that the NewGame+ mode will allow you to “replay the story with your inventory and skills, face tougher enemies and unlock a new skill tree and stronger gear.”

By far the biggest addition however will be the new 3rd person mode, which according to the director features reworked “animations, controls and camera systems to make sure it all feels just right.”

As mentioned, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora launched to a somewhat mixed reception. Since then however, the game has seen a decent amount of post-launch support, including both paid and free updates.

That said, this upcoming update will easily be the game’s biggest yet. It will be interesting to see what players think of the upcoming update and all of its additions when it arrives later this year.
