Technically, yes. It won’t be at will, or the player’s control though. From what we’ve seen from previews and trailers for the majority of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, you’ll play from a first-person perspective when on foot, exploring, or engaged in combat with enemies.

What gameplay we’ve seen, you’ll change to a third-person perspective when hitching a ride with one of Pandora’s many creatures, mainly the mighty Ikran, which can help you fly around the map and assist on missions to get a birds-eye view on the situation, or space dragon-eye view.

Can’t wait to get your hands on Avatar Frontiers of Pandora? Neither can we! So check out what time Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is releasing in your region so you can dive into Pandora as soon as possible.
