Ubisoft has come under fire for promoting a season pass for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, a game that has not yet been released. The season pass includes two story packs, “The Sky Breaker” and “Secrets of the Spires,” along with a bonus quest and cosmetic bundle. However, many fans are questioning the decision to advertise additional story content before anyone has had the chance to experience the base game’s story. The trailer for the season pass reveals that the story packs are not even ready yet.
Some players expressed their surprise and disappointment, stating that Ubisoft should focus on delivering a great game first before selling additional content. One comment on the trailer’s page highlights the concern that no one knows how good the game will be, making it premature to market extra story content.
This is not the first time Ubisoft has offered a season pass for a single-player game, as they did so with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The season pass for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora follows a similar model, offering two post-launch DLCs and an exclusive quest upon release. However, the timing of the season pass trailer has raised eyebrows, as it was released three weeks before the game’s launch, unlike Valhalla’s trailer, which came out over a week after the game’s release.
The Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora season pass is currently priced at $110, only available as part of the game’s gold edition. This high price point has also contributed to the backlash from fans. Despite the criticism, the game is still scheduled for release on December 7, 2023, after experiencing several delays.
