The world of Avatar is an incredibly detailed, imaginative, and rich universe that inspires many artists ever since the first movie hit the cinemas. It is so full of iconic images and ideas that almost everybody on this planet can instantly recognize the striking visual design of Avatar.
We knew that it would be key for us to create an experience that brings an exceptional immersion to the players. We wanted to let them experience Pandora firsthand, let them stand in the dense and lush rainforest, and be free to explore and roam the vast landscape. Letting players dream of what it feels like to be a Na’vi, soaring into the sky on their Ikran – that was our goal.
The Western Frontier is a completely new continent of Pandora filled with new creatures, new clans and new biomes that has not been seen in the movies before. It was truly an exciting experience to build this new and wonderous corner of the world. We would like to thank our partners at Lightstorm Entertainment and Disney for their great expertise and guidance. The immense amount of detail that they put into the lore and production design is unmatched. Translating this attention to detail into a game world was paramount for us.
Creating large open worlds requires a tremendous amount of technology. Our talented tech teams constantly pushing the limits of the Snowdrop engine had a huge impact on the visual quality. And of course, it is the exceptionally talented and creative artists from all over the world who brought this exciting game universe to life. We would like to thank all the people who contributed to this project. Without their passion, their hard work and dedication this would not have been possible.
We are honored to be part of this production and are excited to share the fantastic art of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora with this community. We hope that this behind-the-scenes collection of artworks will let you all dream and be inspired to create your own new astonishing pieces of art in the future.
