The upcomingAvatartitle is described as an open-world game, allowing fans of the franchiseto freely explorePandora. Players may wish to embark on otheropen-world gamesthat will keep them occupied until an official release date as well as other news about the game is given.
10Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Due to Ubisoft being a crucial part of the team making the upcomingaction-adventure title, players may wish to experience the other successful games that have been released by the other teams from the developers.
Although Ubisoft is partnering with Massive Entertainment that has also made the likes ofThe Division 2andFar Cry 3,Assassin’s Creed Valhallais much closer to what many players may imagineAvatar: Frontier of Pandorawill play like especially due to the large jungle environments and the agility of the Na’Vi people.
9God Of War Ragnarok
God of War Ragnarokmay not be an open-world title in the traditional sense especially as players must teleport between different realms in order to visit the different areas of the map. However, outside the story players are able to explore these locations freely to their hearts' content making it a semi-open-word experience.
Besides thebeauty of many of the locationsbeing similar to the already revealed teaser trailer ofAvataras well as the screenshots given, players can expect to explore a beautiful planet that rivals the realms ofGod of War.
8Outer Wilds
While being the most unlike what could be expected ofAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora, overall the Na’Vi species are an alien race, and therefore they link heavily with the themes of sci-fi. For those hoping to scratch their alien itch with a relaxing open-world game with a more easy-going story,Outer Wildsis certainly a game to pick up.

As expected while exploring space players will find aliens to communicate with but most importantly beautiful planets players must explore in hopes to find a solution to the time loop they find themselves trapped in.
7V Rising
In the upcoming action-adventure title fans of the franchise will be able to experience what they havealways dreamed of becoming, and that is being part of the Na’Vi people. This means that according to Ubisoft players will be exploring Pandora while being a huge blue cat-like person.
V Risingis similar as players explore this open-world survival as a newly awoken vampire. They therefore must learn how to explore and survive safely as a vampire while also avoiding the dangers such as the forever appearing daylight hours and other foes that may wish to destroy them.
6No Man’s Sky
Similar to theOuter Worlds, No Man’s Skyallows players to explore the wonders of space freely, with an interesting story that players may wish to follow. Other than that players are free to travel between a wonder of planets and solar systems until they find one that best fits where they would want to place a base.
Although none of the planets may look like Pandora, this doesn’t stop players from finding some beautiful environments to explore as well as some fascinating creatures to examine and perhaps even tame.
5Subnautica
On the other side of the scale, players may wish to focus on one alien planet which is mostly covered in water. Like how Jake and his family had to learn to adapt inAvatar: The Way of Water, the player must learn how to survive in the dangerous ocean ofSubnauticawhere there is no land to be seen.

Although underwater,Subnauticaisstill a beautiful game, and exploring all the amazingly created wildlife as well as expanding the player’s underwater base will certainly keep many occupied until the release ofAvatar.
For players not only looking for an open-world experience but also a game with an amazing story then they should look no further thanRed Dead Redemption 2. This game set in the wild west explores the life of Arthur Morgan an outlaw who’s a part of the Van Der Linde gang as they attempt to escape the law.
Besides being able to freely travel by horse across an authentic look at the west while deciding if Arthur is going to continue his outlaw ways through robbing trains and stores, or leaving the majority of that behind.
3The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Another great open-world experience players should try while waiting forAvatarisThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Although the third title in the franchise, many players will still be able to enjoyexploring as Geraltwithout needing knowledge of the past titles.

Exploring as a monster hunter in this well throughout the world brought to life by CD Projekt Red is sure to keep players distracted as Ubisoft works. Not to mention that recently the game got a next-generation update that entirely remastered the graphics of the game making it an even more beautiful world to travel through.
2Ark: Survival Evolved
Prehistoric dinosaurs can also match the vibe ofAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora, especially as this open-world survival allows the players to tame dangerous dinosaurs to use in not only combat but also to travel through the thick jungle environments.
Although not much has been yet revealed about Avatar, it can be expected that players will be using the Toruk, which are the giant dinosaur-like birds many Na’Vi use in battle, to explore Pandora. Besides this, many of the maps inArkcontain thick forests which will prepare players for Pandora.
1Horizon Forbidden West
A great open-world action-adventure for players to experience before the release ofAvatar: Frontiers of Pandorais definitelyHorizon Forbidden West. Set in a post-apocalyptic version of the US players get to explore further west in the second title ofHorizonwhere they meet even more challenging robotic animal foes to defeat as well as all new environments to explore.
Besides how visually pleasing the game is, Aloy and the task at hand tosave the planet from its own destructionmake for a great story that many players will enjoy experiencing between eventful side quests.
