Summary
According to a new rumor, 2023’sAvatar: Frontiers of Pandoracould be getting a director’s cut. Developed byStar Wars Outlawsstudio Massive Entertainment,Avatar: Frontiers of Pandorais an open-world, first-person action game set around the same time asAvatar: The Way of Water. Players take control of a customizable Na’vi who is one of the only surviving members of the lost Sarentu tribe. At the start of the game, they escape from the RDA and embark on a mission to rediscover their heritage and prevent the human army from stealing Pandora’s resources.
Despite earning mixed reviews when it launched in the winter of 2023,Avatar: Frontiers of Pandoragenerated decent sales, even being named one of theXbox Store’s top 20 games of 2024. Two story-based DLC packs were released last year, titled “The Sky Breaker” and “Secrets of the Spires.” The former saw the Na’vi protagonist investigate a new threat above the treetops of Pandora during an ancient festival called the Great Games, while the latter took players to a new region called the Spires of the Clouded Forest.
Earlier this week, Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson reported a rumor that Ubisoft is releasing a “director’s cut” of one of its recent triple-A titles (viaComicbook.com), and a pair of Twitter users quickly guessed that it would beAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Henderson seemed to agree that this is the case, and this hypothetical director’s cut could coincide with therelease ofAvatar: Fire and Ashlater this year.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Director’s Cut Could Come at the Same Time as the New Movie
Henderson didn’t share any further details about this director’s cut and how it would be different from themultiple versions ofAvatar: Frontiers of Pandoraalready available, but it would likely include new graphical and technical improvements alongside all the DLC released for the game so far. It’s also possible for theAvatar: Frontiers of Pandoradirector’s cut to include brand-new content, but this is all just rumor and speculation at this point.
Releasing a new version ofAvatar: Frontiers of Pandoraaround the time thatFire and Ashhits theaters on December 19 would also be a good way for Ubisoft tocapitalize on the newAvatarmovieand boost sales for its tie-in game by drawing in new fans of James Cameron’s mega-hit sci-fi franchise. In the meantime, Massive Entertainment continues to release new updates for the current iteration ofAvatar: Frontiers of Pandorato refine the game and address the different technical issues players have stumbled across while exploring and defending the tropical Na’vi homeworld.
