It's a pretty world, but a dangerous one.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora hands-on — Far Cry but better

I don’t know if you noticed, but the Avatar franchise is great. Last year’s The Way of Water was a gorgeous, moving film, and you’re missing out if you haven’t visited Pandora: World of Avatar over in Walt Disney World. So, yeah, I’m a fan. That’s why I was happy to get a chance to try a few hours of the upcoming game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which comes out on December 7 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

My demo took place on PC via remote streaming. I got a good chance to run around Pandora, tame my Ikron (those flying dragon things) and complete a few story missions. And sure as the sky (and a Na’vi) is blue, I had a good time.
