Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora looks incredible in new Snowdrop Engine showcase

One of the main highlights at Ubisoft's E3 showcase this year was the reveal of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Built for next-gen consoles and PC on an enhanced Snowdrop Engine, Ubisoft has now gone into a bit more detail on the technical side of the game. 

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora debuted with a ‘first look' trailer during E3. Now, Ubisoft has also uploaded a Snowdrop Engine showcase, giving us a behind the scenes look at the technology going into the game. The video seems to confirm ray-traced lighting for the game, enhanced AI for NPC characters and a huge bump in graphical fidelity that will really push Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC hardware.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora aims to feature Ubisoft's most immersive open-world to date, which hopefully means we'll finally see some new mechanics, as many open-world Ubisoft games tend to borrow a bit too much from each other.

Ubisoft Massive is currently working to bring this game out in late 2022, but we have yet to see gameplay, so it is difficult to tell how far into development the game really is. Either way, we'll be hearing much more about this game next year.

KitGuru Says: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora looks incredibly impressive but so far, we've only seen in-engine footage. The final game will look different running on a console or PC. Hopefully E3 2022 will bring about some gameplay.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
