Activision Blizzard has agreed to pay more than $54 million (and an additional $47 million for affected employees) to settle a lawsuit filed by California’s Civil Rights Department in 2021.

Review Roundup For Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora
06.12.2023 - 15:33 / gamespot.com / James Cameron / Phil Hornshaw
Yes, there are countless Far Cry comparisons.
By Evan Campbell on
Almost a year after The Way of Water premiered, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings audiences back to the strange alien world created by James Cameron--but this time in a video game. Ubisoft and developer Massive are behind the open-world title, meaning the similarities to Far Cry are there and mentioned by reviewers.
On GameSpot sister site Metacritic, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has a metascore of 74, fitting in the mixed or average range. That's taking into account 52 reviews at the time of publication.

Now Playing: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Review
Now, one large difference between Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Far Cry is the fact that this game puts players into the role of a 10-foot blue Na'vi. GameSpot's Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora review notes how this serves as a strength for the title: «The world is not only stunning, but a blast to run around in, and your parkour-like abilities let you turn forests, mountains, and enemy bases into playgrounds to leap around.»
It also sounds like you don't have to be a fan of the movies to necessarily enjoy the open-world game. But, if you like the two sci-fi films, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has clues about Avatar 3, including three Na'vi clans not seen on the silver screen--at least not yet.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora launches this Thursday, December 7, on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Check out more reviews for the game below:
«Best of all, I never felt like an open-world trashman, dumping junk on the way to the next map marker. Instead, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora made me feel like I was adventuring in a place worth exploring, and I'm eager to go back.» — Phil Hornshaw [Full review]
«If you walked away from Avatar wishing a world like Pandora actually existed out there, here you go. This is that world. Seeing Pandora is one thing, but being able to scale its massive treetops, soar high above its floating mountains on an Ikran, and traverse its wide open plains on the back of a Direhorse is really something special. This is the best version of Avatar yet.» — Steven Mills [Full review]
«Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a good game that has one massive blue foot in two different generations. While presentationally, it's sublime, from a gameplay perspective, it rarely offers anything new, and still relies on much-mocked map-clearing clutter.» — Jordan Middler [Full review]
«I was, if I'm honest, surprised by how much I enjoyed it considering its collection of well-worn mechanics. That's

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Review (PS5) | Push Square
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a game this writer has been waiting a long time for. In many ways, it is the Hogwarts Legacy for fans of big blue folk and vibrant alien worlds. But with that apt comparison and Ubisoft Massive at the helm, does it do enough to stand on its own two feet? Or is it nothing more than a pretty tour through Avatar’s greatest hits? While it certainly is pretty and it does its best to hit those Avatar beats, Frontiers of Pandora actually won us over with one of the most enchanting open-worlds available on PS5.
