Posted on by Amelia Pressman

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’s Secrets of the Spiers DLC is now available For those with a Season Pass, there are new Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora achievements to unlock, a new map section, a new story campaign and more. With today’s story DLC, we seem to have reached the end of what we know so far about Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora’s post-launch content. So it will be interesting to see if this additional content could help the game be ranked as one of the best open-world games on Xbox.

Secrets of the Spiers is now available for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

  • Secrets of the Spiers is out today with a short delay
  • It is the second story pack available to Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Season Pass owners

Secrets of the Spiers will be around 17.5GB for Xbox Series X|S. The biggest changes are the new map area, Spiers of the Clouded Forest, the new skills and equipment, and the new story campaign. The DLC continues the story of the main game, but like the last story DLC, you can choose to go straight to Secrets of the Spiers and skip the main story.
“Epic air battles await in the Spiers of the Clouded Forest, a spectacular new mountainous region on Pandora’s western border. Explore and discover a fresh open world that increases the thrill of flying on your Ikran,” says Ubisoft.

“Sabotage RDA air convoys with new Ikran abilities and a brand new mounted weapon. Meet a remote Na’vi clan and join them in the fight against a new RDA threat in the Spiers region. Lose yourself in the verticality of this new region. full of gorges and caves where unexpected dangers lurk in the shadows.

We already have the five new Secrets of the Spiers achievements – read below to find out what’s included in the update according to the patch notes.

It remains to be seen what Ubisoft has planned next for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. We have a mixed record when it comes to games released by Ubisoft for 2024, and Star Wars Outlaws is busy releasing major patches left, right and center to improve things across the board.

The Sky Breaker, the final story pack for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, has an estimated completion time of around six to eight hours. So it will be interesting to see how long Secrets of the Spiers will keep us busy.

I’m most looking forward to the Ikran stuff when I return to the game, but I’m excited to see what appeal Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will have afterward. Avatar fans may appreciate being able to explore Pandora, but it remains to be seen how Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will fare in the long term.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora could definitely benefit from more Ikran content, as the experience of flying through Pandora was one of the things we liked most in our Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora review. Not to mention, the dogfight was a bit awkward at first, so I’m hoping this new story DLC will flesh out our Ikran’s abilities a bit.
