Character creation is a key feature in any RPG, so if you’re wondering if Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora supports it, we have you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about creating your own Na’vi and customizing its looks in Ubisoft’s highly-anticipated game.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is one of the first times you can get out into the alien world and explore it on your own. Certainly, this is the most extensively you can explore, finding your own place in Na’vi society. 

Ever since the release of the 2009 James Cameron film, many have dreamed of inhabiting their own avatar and being able to navigate through Pandora. That leaves the question then, does Ubisoft’s latest survival game let you live out that fantasy? 

Can you actually design your own Avatar or Na’vi to explore Pandora with, making them your own, or are you simply inhabiting a premade character? Here’s what you need to know.

Yes, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora does have a character creator – but it has key limitations. 

In Ubisoft’s game, you’re not going to be able to create a brand-new character with your own backstory, class, and personality like you might get in an RPG. You will play as a set character with a background and history you can’t decide. However, there is still room to put your own stamp on the character.

You will be able to customize your character’s appearance and make choices about their look, voice, accessories, and more. This means you’ll be able to craft your own Na’vi look, but again you will have a set story and background you play through.

This is expanded upon by Ubisoft on their website. The site says: “Your Na’vi character is customizable with options including different body types, voices, and body paint, and like you, your character will learn how to be a Na’vi, including how to harness your formidable strength and agility while traversing through the stunning and dangerous open world.”
