A skill tree will let you upgrade your character’s movement and combat abilities in traditional Ubisoft fashion. Playable either solo or with a friend in co-op, there will be multiple tribes to meet who teach you new skills, such as the ability to tame and ride your very own Ikron and Direhorses to travel great distances. The game is set in a first-person perspective and will feature a mix of traditional Na’vi tools like bows, traps, and spears, plus RDA arms such as machine guns, shotguns, and rocket launchers. The trailer showed off the exploration of the open world on foot and in the air in vast and varied locals.

This Na’vi was trained by the RDA as a soldier who was put to cryo-sleep for 15 years before reawakening on Pandora. Playing as a brand new female Na’vi, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will be a stand-alone story of Na’vi fighting back an invading RDA force.
