<br>Analyzing the reveal trailer, it seems that Frontiers of Pandora will be about exploring the planet as an Avatar and won't be about following the RDA. Without guns to play with, the best possible comparison is most likely Far Cry Primal , which actually didn’t have any microtransactions and only one DLC pack. Still, the Ubisoft title had opportunities to monetize with weapons and clothing cosmetics - it might just have seemed out of place in the prehistoric sett<br><br> <br>One of the draws of Frontiers of Pandora will undoubtedly be flying through Pandora on the back of one of the flying beasts named Toruk. From the Hallelujah Mountains to the various Na’vi settlements to the RDA colonies scattered around the world, there are many different large areas that could be turned into discoverable regions.

Being able to react to certain obstacles differently depending on aggression or mood, and the acknowledgment of the player’s progression seems particularly complex.

The scope of the game has yet to be revealed, but it’s reasonable to expect a large open world with several side quests from Ubisoft’s past work with Immortals Fenyx Rising and Far Cry . One tactic Ubisoft could use to justify XP boosts is making XP hard to find in the expansive overworld, thus incentivizing players to simply buy it and save time leveling up their charac<br><br> <br>Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a game with lots of potential despite only having one film’s worth of mythology to work with so far. Capturing the years of world-building that James Cameron and the production team have created is no small task but given time the game could end up having a unique and unexplored alien world to discover. At the end of the day, it’s up to Ubisoft to decide whether microtransactions are right for **Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora ** , and hopefully, the game’s world won’t suffer from<br><br> <br>Ubisoft has been aggressively ramping up its microtransactions over the past ten years, and the Assassin's Creed franchise is a prime example of this. Assassin's Creed releases following Assassin's Creed: Unity have had some of the most egregious microtransactions in a single-player game. While AC Valhalla 's armory might get fans playing again , this same loot-centric game design and increasingly MMO-style progression systems are underpinned by in-game purchases of cosmetics and gear.

The dynamic aspects of the game and the Snowdrop engine it is using already sound incredible but a truly evolving game is always exciting.
