If, like me, you enjoy theFar Cryseries, then you may have noticed thatAvatar: Frontiers of Pandoralooks mighty familiar. Almost suspiciously familiar, in fact. So what’s the deal? Is it connected to theFar Crygames?
IsAvatar: Frontiers of PandoraaFar Crygame?
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandoraisn’t aFar Crygame in terms of being part of theFar Cryfranchise. However, it does share more than a few similarities that can be explained.
To start,Avatar: Frontiers of PandoraandFar Cryare both published by Ubisoft. Additionally, the developer ofFrontiers of Pandora, Massive Entertainment, previously assisted with the development ofFar Cry 3. However, that’s not what Massive Entertainment is best known for. In recent years, the studio is most famous for developingThe DivisionandThe Division 2.
As forFar Cry,Avatar: Frontiers of Pandoracertainlylooksa lot like the popular series, but that’s not the end all be all. In his preview, Destructoid staff writer Steven Mills described the game as“not just Far Cry: Blue Edition,”despite his initial impression thatAvatarlooked just like aFar Crygame.
So if you’re aFar Cryfan, this may still be the game for you. But overall,Avatar: Frontiers of Pandorashould offer you more than just a new paint job.
