"A mysterious shadow looms in the sky, threatening the Na'vi clans below who are celebrating at their great festival of games. To protect the Western Frontier, you must face the RDA once again and save your allies."

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Sky Breaker achievements

The Sky Breaker "continues the events of the main game," but you can apparently get to it faster and even skip past the main story if you're not there yet. The patch notes explain that "If you wish to access the story pack faster, you can do so after finishing the main quest 'Songs of the Ancestor.' Go to your quest log, select the quest 'An Invitation.' Then, you can opt for skipping ahead to the start of The Sky Breaker story pack content. This will skip ahead through the events of the main story and equip you with everything you need to experience the story pack content." You do need the Season Pass for this story pack, but the base game does have a free trial available from today, July 16, until July 28, and according to Ubisoft, you can "play from the start of the game for up to 5 hours, or until you reach Hometree in 'The Aranahe Clan' main quest." As for today's update, you can check out everything below, as per the patch notes.
