Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Adds Third-Person Mode as 'From the Ashes' Dated for Dec. 19

Designed to sync with the film, the So'lek-led add-on brings new Na'vi adversaries alongside boss encounters.

Overview

  • A free third-person mode is available now across the base game, with the expansion featuring third-person cinematics and an option to switch back to first-person.
  • From the Ashes launches on December 19 to coincide with Avatar: Fire and Ash, pitting players against the Ash clan featured in the movie.
  • The DLC focuses on So'lek and offers an estimated 25-hour campaign, a new region to explore, and evolving changes to the Kinglor Forest.
  • Combat additions include new RDA mech variants, a robot-dog enemy, and So'lek-specific skills that grant a temporary damage and defense boost.
  • Early hands-on impressions praise the new perspective for traversal and combat, note occasional reversion to first-person and spongey boss fights, and flag PS5 performance as a question for full release.
