The next Avatar film, the franchise’s fourth installment, isn’t expected to arrive until December 2029, four years after Avatar: Fire and Ash premiered in 2025. A fifth and final film is also planned for a December 2031 release. While details about the upcoming sequels remain scarce, filmmaker James Cameron has previously revealed that he’s still writing portions of the later films, adding that advances in filmmaking technology will make production more efficient.
Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait until 2029 to return to Pandora. PlayStation has announced that the franchise’s biggest video game is joining PlayStation Plus this month alongside several other notable titles, including a few you may have forgotten about. Developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft, the game originally launched in 2023 for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S to mixed reviews, with critics overall widely praising its breathtaking visuals and immersive recreation of Pandora.
According to PlayStation, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora joins the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on July 21. The game will be available globally on PS5 and via PlayStation Portal. For those anticipating this fantastic release, it is set in the previously unseen Western Frontier of Pandora. The first-person action-adventure game puts players in the role of a Na’vi who was abducted by the Resources Development Administration (RDA) and raised to serve its interests. After 15 years in captivity, you finally escape, only to find yourself a stranger in your own homeland. As you reconnect with your heritage, you’ll unite with other Na’vi clans to defend Pandora from the RDA while uncovering what it truly means to be Na’vi.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max

🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars

01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.

02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
Advertisement
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.

04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.

07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.

08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
Advertisement
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
Advertisement
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Advertisement
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Advertisement
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Advertisement
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Are ‘Avatar 4’ and ‘Avatar 5’ Already Filmed?
Back in April, Avatar star Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, who plays Tuk, shared a production update on Avatar 4 during the Saturn Awards. The actress revealed that only a portion of the fourth film had been filmed before teasing an “epic time jump” that would dramatically expand the story. According to Bliss, the time jump will allow audiences to explore Pandora’s characters, cultures, and ecosystems on a much larger scale. “We barely touched the tip of the iceberg for what we know about this world, and these characters, and how deep they can go,” she said. Bliss also explained that Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash were designed with the fourth and fifth films in mind, describing the final two installments as the beginning of an entirely new chapter for the franchise.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora joins the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog next week. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates on the Avatar franchise.
