- Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora reveals its first DLC, The Sky Breaker, expanding the story.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has just revealed its first DLC story expansion, titled The Sky Breaker, during June 10’s Ubisoft Forward livestream. Back in December, future Star Wars Outlaws developer Massive Entertainment released Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, an open-world, first-person action-adventure title set in the universe of James Cameron’s Avatar movies. In it, players take the role of a Na’vi orphan who reconnects with their heritage as a member of the lost Sarentu Clan after escaping from an RDA facility – and soon rises to unite the different tribes and defend their home from the human invaders.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was met with mixed reviews at launch, earning praise for its stunning recreation of the colorful world of the films while catching criticism for relying too much on the “Na’vi sense” mechanic and feeling a little too similar to Ubisoft’s Far Cry franchise at times. Nonetheless, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora continues to receive regular updates, and it was one of the many titles shown during the recent Ubisoft Forward June 2024 livestream. Its presence at the event was heralded by a montage of famous video game streamers playing through it, and this was just the lead-in to a major announcement from Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment.

2023 Ubisoft Open-World Game Coming to New Platform Soon
Ubisoft is releasing an old open-world game of theirs on a new platform, opening the game up to a wider audience than before.
This announcement was for the first Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora story DLC, which is titled The Sky Breaker. Taking place after the events of the main game, the Sky Breaker trailer begins with the Na’vi celebrating their victory over the RDA with an ancient festival called “The Great Games.” However, the festivities are soon cut short by a crashing RDA airship, which leads to another attack from the humans. The player Na’vi is undeterred by this, narrating that their people will “rise stronger” from this latest ordeal. The trailer also includes the DLC’s release date of July 16, 2024.

What follows next is a montage of gameplay, with the player riding through various environments on what appears to be a new mountable creature and battling their way through RDA forces using their trusty bow and arrows. Among the enemies shown in the latest Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora trailer are RDA mechs holding large shields – as well as returning villain Colonel Angela Harding in her own mech with flamethrowers and what looks like mounted cannons.
The Sky Breaker expansion will be available in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’s Season Pass – along with the second confirmed DLC expansion, Secrets of the Spires, which will supposedly add a new region of Pandora and focus on aerial combat with the Banshee. In the meantime, players who enjoyed trekking through the wilderness of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora should mark their calendars for the game’s first DLC story later this summer.
