Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Gets Major Player Count Boost

Player numbers for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora have recently increased significantly, likely due to the release of the new Avatar movie. The original Avatar film, directed by James Cameron, was a massive success in 2009 and has since grown into a large franchise, expanding beyond the big screen to include books, stage shows, video games, and more. Now, the new film is driving a surge in popularity for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora on Steam.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was a major release for the Avatar franchise, taking place on the vibrant world of Pandora. Players can immerse themselves in the Avatar universe, using both human and Na’vi weaponry to battle the RDA. While the game initially received mixed reviews – praised for its beautiful world and engaging combat, but criticized for overusing the Na’vi Vision feature during exploration and puzzles – a recent update and the release of a new movie seem to be boosting its popularity.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’s Player Count is Climbing Rapidly

The game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has recently seen a big increase in players on Steam, more than quadrupling its previous highest numbers. According to SteamDB, the game currently has a peak of nearly 12,500 players, and that number has been growing throughout December. While not a massive number overall, this December peak is a substantial increase from its previous high of just over 2,600 players. The surge in popularity is likely due to the release of the new Avatar movie and a recent update to the game in early December.

In early December, Frontiers of Pandora received a major update to coincide with the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash. The “From the Ashes” expansion added new story content, taking place shortly after the events of the new movie. The update also included a highly requested feature: a third-person perspective, allowing players to experience the game from a different viewpoint for the first time. Additionally, a New Game+ mode was introduced, letting players start a new playthrough while keeping their existing gear and abilities.

The Avatar Franchise is Far From Over

With the release of the Frontiers of Pandora expansion and the film Avatar: Fire and Ash, the Avatar franchise continues to expand. Avatar: Fire and Ash is the third movie in the series, following the popular 2022 sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water. 20th Century Studios has confirmed that even more Avatar films are planned, with the fourth scheduled for release in 2029 and the fifth in 2031. In addition to the movies, a new Avatar game, Avatar: Reckoning, is also being developed as a mobile shooter.

More people are discovering Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora lately, and the game is currently 33% off on Steam as part of the Winter Sale, which ends January 5th. Players can also explore new areas in Pandora thanks to two previous expansions: The Sky Breaker and Secrets of the Spire. This renewed interest in the game is a positive sign for its future, likely boosted by the new movie and expansions being well-received.
