• Q: Is Atomic Heart 2 officially confirmed?
  A: Developer Mundfish has publicly stated that they are planning and working on a sequel. However, the game 'Atomic Heart 2' has not been formally announced with a title, trailer, or release date. This entry is speculative.
• Q: What will Atomic Heart 2 be about?
  A: It is expected to follow the story after the first game's 'Trapped in Limbo' DLC, with protagonist P-3 venturing into the surreal digital world of Limbo to save his wife, who was one of the Twins.
• Q: What engine will Atomic Heart 2 use?
  A: While unconfirmed, it is widely expected that the sequel will be developed on Unreal Engine 5 to take advantage of next-generation graphical and gameplay features.

• Q: Is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora connected to the James Cameron movies?
  A: Yes, it is set within the official Avatar canon, taking place in a new region of Pandora (the Western Frontier) roughly concurrent with the events of 'Avatar: The Way of Water.' While it features a new story and characters, it respects and expands upon the established lore, flora, fauna, and themes of the films.
• Q: Do I need to have seen the Avatar movies to play the game?
  A: While familiarity with the movies will enhance appreciation of the world and lore, the game is designed to be accessible to newcomers, introducing key concepts about Pandora, the Na'vi, and the RDA through its narrative.
• Q: Is the game first-person or third-person?
  A: The game is primarily played in first-person when on foot. However, it switches to a third-person perspective when riding mounts like the Ikran or Direhorse, and during certain cinematics or interactions.
• Q: How does combat work? Can I only use Na'vi weapons?
  A: Combat features a dual system. Players can utilize traditional Na'vi weapons like bows, spear-throwers, and staff slings, which are often better for stealth and hunting. They can also use scavenged RDA firearms like assault rifles and shotguns, which are more effective against RDA technology and armored units. Players can switch between these styles fluidly.
• Q: Is there crafting and gathering in the game?
  A: Yes, crafting and gathering are core gameplay mechanics. Players gather resources from Pandora's diverse flora and fauna, as well as scavenge RDA tech. These materials are used to craft and upgrade weapons, gear, ammunition, and cook food for temporary buffs. The quality of gathered materials can affect the stats of crafted items.

Powered by the latest iteration of the Snowdrop Engine, the game delivers stunning, highly detailed visuals of Pandora. It features dense, bioluminescent environments, realistic weather systems, incredibly detailed character and creature models, and advanced lighting and particle effects. Supports ray-traced global illumination, reflections, and shadows on PC and current-gen consoles for enhanced realism.

Original score composed by Pinar Toprak, capturing the wonder, danger, and cultural richness of Pandora, blending orchestral themes with tribal and ethereal elements. Sound design is critical, with rich ambient sounds of Pandora's unique flora and fauna, distinct weapon effects for both Na'vi and RDA tech, and immersive environmental audio. Features Na'vi language dialogue.

Immersive first-person HUD with contextual information. Na'vi Senses highlight interactive objects, resources, enemy weaknesses, and trails. Menus for inventory, crafting, skills, map, and journal are intuitively designed. Minimalistic on-screen elements to enhance immersion in Pandora's world.

Offers a wide range of accessibility options, including customizable controls (full remapping), various subtitle options (size, background, speaker names), colorblind modes, aim assist, adjustable difficulty, options to reduce motion sickness (e.g., reduce camera shake), audio cues, and more. Co-pilot mode allows two controllers to act as one.
