What is Avatar – Secrets of the Spires all about?
It’s a humble message, and I almost feel guilty to admit that I completely forgot all about the game’s second story DLC. Announced as part of theAvatar: Frontiers of Pandoraseason Pass a year ago,Secrets of the Spireshas had very little marketing since. Not eventhe websitedelivers much info on it beyond its inclusion of “aerial combat” and a “new canyon region.”
However, theSeason Pass Trailerdoes include some tidbits. Here’s the gist: The RDA is using giant, fantastical mining rigs to destroy a new region the DLC is introducing to the Western Frontier, and it’s up to you to put an end to it. You must take the fight to the enemy on your banshee, aka the Ikran, and destroy RDA flyers.
The seeming lack of marketing forSecrets of the Spirescertainly feels odd, especially since it’s a part of the season pass — purchasers would certainly want to know what it’s about. But to be fair, things over at Ubisoft havebeen hecticas of late.
The first DLC forAvatar: Frontiers of Pandora,The Sky Breaker, launched on July 19. It got afull announcement with a trailershowcasing what to expect.Secrets of the Spireswill be available on November 28. Hopefully, the Ikran-heavy DLC will soar and not crash upon landing.
