Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Gets Free Third‑Person Mode as 'From the Ashes' Expansion Arrives Dec. 19

Ubisoft’s reengineered third‑person focus underpins a coordinated tie‑in with the new film.

Overview

  • A long‑requested third‑person option is now live as a free update for the base game, and players can switch between perspectives at will.
  • From the Ashes launches December 19 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, timed to the theatrical debut of Avatar: Fire and Ash.
  • The expansion centers on So'lek and introduces the Ash Clan and an RDA alliance, bringing Na’vi‑versus‑Na’vi combat and a darker, action‑led tone.
  • Preview builds describe a substantial campaign with new areas including the Ravines subregion, evolving environmental damage in Kinglor Forest, and added boss encounters.
  • Developers say third‑person demanded a deep systems rework, and early hands‑on impressions praise the ambition while noting animation stiffness, clipping, some uneven boss design, and open questions about console performance.
