In addition to the trailer, the longer 6-minute deep dive revealed major details about combat, character progression, and the various locations, such as jungles, forest biomes etc. The player must hold their own against the RDA and let the natural surroundings around Pandora regrow. Besides traditional Na'avi combat gear like spears, the trailer also teases military assault weapons such as rocket launches and rifles.
The gameplay is also more immersive since players will be able to journey through the regions, meet new Na’vi clans, customise their characters, tame their banshee, and master both Na’vi and human weaponry. Players can also upgrade their skills through progression which has left fans pretty excited; stealth and aerial combat are some of the featured components and the game will also allow players to play the full campaign in 2-player co-op.
James Cameron also appeared at the showcase with a video message, where he spoke about the game's setting and the new universes in the franchise. Ubisoft also revealed a gameplay demonstration, offering new details on the story, gameplay, and more. The demo showcases flight traversal mechanics with an Ikran, which players will also be able to customize, while a number of unique and gorgeous biomes and settlements across the western frontier are also shown.
