Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora isn’t out yet, but Ubisoft is eager to show you the content it’s got in the pipeline for post-release. To be fair to the publisher, the game’s two story packs are clearly still early in development, as it’s chosen to demonstrate them using animated concept art in this trailer. The first pack, The Sky Breaker, will launch next summer – while the second, Secrets of the Spires, is due in Fall 2024.
The latter sounds like the more ambitious of the two, as it’ll add an entire new region to the open world. “Face a mysterious shadow in the Sky Breaker story pack,” the official blurb explains. “Engage in epic aerial battles as you discover the secret of the new canyon region in the Secrets of the Spires story pack!”
Those of you planning to purchase the Season Pass at launch will also nab the Familiar Echoes bonus quest, which will be available day one, as well as some additional in-game cosmetics. Ubisoft is generally very good at supporting its games post-release, and this looks like another example of that – but obviously it’s weird seeing so much DLC prior to the title’s actual release.

Please give us a third person view as first person games give me motion sickness. Pretty please 😁😁😁
This is almost serving as a ‘we apologise in advance for the state of the main game, so here’s what you will have’ video… bit odd.
Hmmm, I had this game on my radar. But now it seems like cut content on purpose to create a season pass. I'll wait for the reviews and reactions on the main game.
I'll wait for the sale on the ultimate edition when it is complete.
I guess it works, but I honestly don’t understand. Were i interested in the game this would just make me wait so I can play it all together. Going back to a game so long after completion, once I’ve played multiple games thereafter, and so have inevitably forgotten both story and gameplay mechanics, does not appeal. Not to mention the extra cost of having to hang onto it after completion while its resale value drops…ah, I guess there’s the reason.
Wasn't interested in this game anyway. I'll likely wait for a Sale now.
I'm reasonably interested in the SW, but I couldn't care less about Avatar
I will snap up everything this game has to offer. Love the Avatar movies.
I'm a sucker for anything Avatar, so I'm here for this.
Oh it's Ubisoft. That explains that. Didn't care much about this anyway. Now it's in the never care pile.
@Martijn87 Same here.
I don’t see an issue here. Anyone complaining about this potentially being cut content, every game has cut content. Just because a developer decides to work on it and release it later on as dlc instead of cutting it entirely doesn’t detract from how good the main game will be without it. It already looks like there’s plenty to do.
I’ve never played a Far Cry game, despite enjoying Ubisoft’s other output. I just can’t get past the first person viewpoint. It’s just not my preference.
That said, I was considering putting aside those issues because I think an open world Avatar setting sounds great…. Until this news. To me ‘season pass’ is immediately a turn off.
Didn't know this was supposed to be a live service game, thought it was single player. If I wasn't that much interested on it before, this kills the deal.
Ubisoft going to Ubisoft. If it is like MOST of their DLC expansions it will feel like it's been made by the B-team with perhaps one part being worthwhile, the rest being filler, the last things these bloated games need.
