Overview
- A free third-person option is now available across the base game and the upcoming From the Ashes content, shifting action to an over-the-shoulder view.
- From the Ashes is slated to launch on PS5 on December 19 to align with the theatrical debut of Avatar: Fire and Ash, a coordination Lightstorm executives describe as brand synergy.
- The standalone DLC is previewed as roughly a 25-hour campaign in a new region centered on So'Lek confronting the Na'Vi Ash clan, with an evolving map across the story.
- Hands-on reports highlight more cinematic cutscenes, new skills including a berserk-style boost, and added boss encounters, though several fights felt repetitive and Ash-clan foes appear mainly as bosses.
- Early footage of third-person shows improved traversal and combat with some animation stiffness and clipping noted, and PS5 performance will need confirmation at launch.
