Hi, PlayStation Blog readers. The Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora team has been working hard to leverage the PlayStation 5’s unique features to make playing the game as immersive an experience as possible. Read on to discover how Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora takes advantage of the PS5’s adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and much more. Play Video Raytracing In Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, the world of Pandora is enhanced by hardware-accelerated raytracing on PS5 with both raytraced dynamic global illumination and raytraced reflections. These systems fully integrate with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’s rendering systems like terrain, water, fog, and cloud systems. All these rendering systems adapt dynamically to the game’s changing weather patterns and the changes to the time of day. Also, Ray Marched Volumetric clouds coupled with improved atmospherics and sky rendering allow for dramatic weather effects like thunderstorms. Dynamic environments & stunning visuals Pandora’s environments can change dynamically, where in-game events create large-scale world changes. This includes installations from the human militaristic corporation, the RDA, clear-cutting Pandora’s forests and creating extensive pollution, which dynamically impacts Pandora’s vegetation. The beauty of Pandora also lies in its micro-detail rendering system, so expect a great level of detail in small leaves, moss, branches, or even tiny ambient critters. Adaptive triggers and haptic feedback Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora combines the DualSense Wireless Controller’s adaptive triggers with haptic feedback to create a rich, tactile experience. Feel the tension of your Na’vi bow string when aiming or the recoil of your human weapon when firing, and carefully adjust the tension of the triggers while harvesting resources to optimize their quality. There are well over 400 unique haptic effects throughout the game. Experience the joyful surprises of Pandora by touching the reactive flora around you and feel how they react through the haptic feedback in your hands. In Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, you can feel the Helicoradian plants folding in around you as you pass close to them, the footsteps of heavy animals like Sturmbeest and Soundblast Colossus as they get closer to the player, the roar of a Thanathor as it stalks you when you enter its territory, and of course, environmental effects, like waterfalls, lightning strikes, heavy wind, rain hitting your weapons, and the thrum of focusing with your Na’vi senses. For animal lovers, you’ll feel the feedback from wildlife as you pet and soothe it, including the breath and purr of your very own Ikran. While traversing Pandora’s Western Frontier, you’ll feel the rush of adrenaline while soaring the skies on your Ikran, and the subtle shift in feedback while sprinting, sliding, jumping, swimming, climbing, traversing up or down a Lift Vine, or riding on a Direhorse. 3D audio A key goal for the audio team working on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora was to make Pandora come to life from every angle. Almost every sound in the environment is 3D-positioned, so when players move around, the sounds maintain their relative positions, like they would in the real world. Pandora constantly reacts to the player and to itself. Wildlife panics or quietens after hearing unfamiliar sounds like gunshots, or heavy RDA machinery. Plants rustle as the player brushes past them, raindrops drizzle onto plant leaves, and wind gusts can be heard in sync with swaying tree branches. All this truly comes to life with the PS5’s 3D Audio, providing a new sensory feeling of immersion, and a sense of space and connection to the world that wasn’t possible before. How to pre-order Prepare to become Na’vi and fight for Pandora in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, coming to PS5 on December 7. PS5 players will receive the Aranahe Warrior Pack for free. You can pre-order the game at PlayStation Store in multiple editions: The Standard Edition includes the base game. The Gold Edition includes the game and Season Pass, two story packs, the Familiar Echoes bonus quest, a unique banshee, and more. Face a mysterious shadow in The Sky Breaker story pack and engage in epic aerial battles as you discover the secret of the new canyon region in the Secrets of the Spires story pack. The Ultimate Edition includes the game, Season Pass (2 story packs, a bonus quest, a unique banshee, and more), Ultimate Pack, and digital art book. With your pre-order of any edition, you will receive the Child of Two Worlds pre-order bonus with a character cosmetic set and a weapon skin. Sivako! View the full article

Today, we’re happy to reveal two fighters joining Tekken 8’s roster: Reina, who employs an acrobatic fighting style rooted in Taido, and Victor Chevalier, who utilizes super spy-style CQB in combat. In this PS Blog post, we’ll dive into the design and story backgrounds of both. Reina Reina was a character conceived during Tekken 7’s story development a decade ago. She plays a vital role in Tekken 8’s story, The Dark Awakens. Despite her fashionable and charming appearance, she exudes a charismatic sense of evil, reflecting her character’s duality in both personality and fighting style. Attacks that reflect her personality and acrobatic movement based on Taido Reina employs an acrobatic fighting style rooted in Taido, using swift and brutal techniques such as knife-hand strikes, eye pokes, and scratching that reflect her character. She utilizes a special movement called Sentai to close the distance quickly and launch rushes, while Unsoku allows her to deliver powerful attacks with agile footwork, demonstrating a speedy and aggressive combat approach. In addition, Reina has somehow acquired techniques like Wind God Fist and Spinning Demon, synonymous with the Mishima-style karate, and even exhibits a power fighter aspect, delivering powerful moves from the Heaven’s Wrath stance once used by Heihachi, who is now deceased. Her offensive capabilities near walls, in particular, are among the most potent of all characters. Reina is a character that emphasizes duality in various aspects. To create a distinct counterpart to the powerful Mishima-style karate, we chose Taido as the second fighting style. Taido is known for its graceful and speedy movements, with sharp and agile attacks. When producing Reina’s Taido techniques, we collaborated with the renowned expert, Mr. Tetsuji Nakano, who has won the Taido World Championships four times. Mr. Nakano is not only knowledgeable in Taido but also in various other martial arts. His advice on brutal techniques helped bring out the distinctive features and personality in Reina’s movements even more. A design that emphasizes the duality in Reina‘s character. We were eager to work with Ms. Mariko Shimazaki, who had previously contributed as a designer for characters like Kazumi and Josie for Tekken 7. We contacted her to handle the design during the early stages of brainstorming character concepts and keywords, despite giving her the challenging task of capturing a genuine martial artist’s appearance with a bold fighting style that blends elements of Taido and Mishima-style karate, while being a young woman who appears somewhat mysterious and has that duality. She delivered an exceptional design. Thanks to the design proposals we received from Ms. Shimazaki, the grand direction for Reina was clear from the beginning. In creating the 3D model, we worked on incorporating elements related to her hidden background and duality and how to shape it into an appealing design. So, please do keep an eye out for these aspects. Victor Chevalier Founder of the Union of Nations’ armed forces and a living legend in the French military. During his time in the Navy, he carried out numerous dangerous missions. He successfully returned, all while displaying the quirks of being an extreme penny-pincher and having a flamboyant history of romantic relationships with more partners than one can count. He left behind various anecdotes in different countries. Driven by his aspiration to save more people, he eventually assumed the role of the commander of the UN’s forces and decided to lead from the front lines in battle. Victor Chevalier, a key character in shaping the power balance in the world of Tekken 8 Victor plays a vital role in the setting of Tekken 8, influencing the power balance in the world. In past installments, the leader of the UN was not revealed. However, in this game, with the growing influence of the G Corporation led by Kazuya Mishima, the founder of the UN’s armed forces, Victor, makes his debut. His participation promises a unique and substantial twist in the story compared to previous titles. Victor’s unique fighting style – super spy-style CQB Victor is an extraordinary combatant with combat knives, karambit knives, and optical weapons. He excels in dual-wielding, combining skills from military combat techniques, science fiction, ninjutsu, super spy tactics, and gentlemanly style. He can attack from a distance with firearms, strike from outside an opponent’s range with his long-reaching sword, and use his flashlight at close quarters to take opponents by surprise. He possesses remarkable spatial control abilities, particularly with his beloved sword, Takemikazuchi. With his “Iai Position” stance, he employs electromagnetic battōjutsu with superlative reach to break through an opponent’s defenses. His high-speed movements with optical camouflage allow him to effectively evade enemy attacks and launch counterattacks. Stylish and practical, his sleek suit style is fashionable yet highly functional Although Victor wears a slim suit, he’s a character who carries multiple weapons. Thus, the design focuses on making sure each weapon is easily accessible and practical while also ensuring that the overall silhouette looks aesthetically pleasing. Given his position as Raven’s superior, the concept was to convey a somewhat sophisticated and conceited image, with the idea of him looking fashionable and appealing to the ladies. Therefore, a suit style was established as a direction quite early in the process. Being a simple suit style, attention was paid to the sleekness of the silhouette, texture, and fine details in accessories to convey Victor’s gentlemanly character. Moreover, the simplicity of the suit style serves as a great contrast that highlights the various weapons he carries. Although he may appear perfect, he’s an extreme penny-pincher With his esteemed family background and expertise in arts and martial arts, Victor may appear as the perfect gentleman at first glance. However, given the nature of Tekken characters, many of whom have distinctive and somewhat quirky traits, it was decided to add a unique feature to Victor. Thus, despite being a high-ranking individual as the founder of the military, in his personal life, he enjoys romances with more than a dozen women and is extremely frugal, creating an overly extreme personality. Additionally, Victor’s deep knowledge of Eastern martial arts and culture is evident through his skillful use of a Japanese sword during combat. His stingy personality is an embodiment of the Japanese virtue of Mottainai (disdain for wastefulness), which is reflected in his actions, lines, and more. I hope players will discover and appreciate these unique traits of Victor when the game is released. View the full article
