Beyond details related to the technical section or the extension of the world of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Ubisoft Massive has added that they are trying to implement improvements to artificial intelligence for NPCs and creatures. From what Jansn has commented, his New Snowdrop graphics engine is allowing you to apply improvements in wildlife, the way enemies track and attack the player and even in destroying elements of the scenes.
