Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> is a millennial favorite. The original series ran for 61 episodes in the mid 2000s, and its popularity helped it spawn a whole franchise. It got a sequel series in The Legend of Korra<\/em>, a live-action Netflix series, the upcoming animated series Avatar: <\/em>Seven Havens<\/em>, and numerous novels and comics tie-ins. What was that? M. Night Shyamalan also directed a live-action Avatar film? Can’t recall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But one area where Aang, Katara, and the rest of the Gaang never quite achieved the same longevity is video games. Both The Last Airbender<\/em> and The Legend of Korra<\/em> had a few tie-in games in the late ’00s and early 2010s, but they were received about as well as you’d expect for media tie-in games, and didn’t have much of a lasting impact. The action-adventure game Avatar: The Last Airbender – Quest for Balanc<\/em>e was released in 2023, but was derided by the few critics and players who tried it out.<\/p>\n

One upcoming game might reverse this series’ unfortunate forays into video games. A new Avatar fighting game will be released next month, and fans are already excited for it.<\/p>\n

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game<\/em> is an upcoming 1v1 fighter, unlike the tag-team licensed fighters Invincible VS<\/em> and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls<\/em>. It touts hand-drawn 2D animation and looks just as beautiful as the original cartoons. Like most fighting games, Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game<\/em> will feature a story mode, arcade fights, online bouts, and more. Online play will have rollback netcode and support crossplay across all platforms.<\/p>\n

The game is expected to have a high skill ceiling, and all you need to do is watch a couple minutes of gameplay to see how sweaty fights in Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game<\/em> can get. Still, Avatar fans who aren’t familiar with fighting games shouldn’t balk at it. The developers are including a game mode designed with newcomers in mind to help teach them the mechanics of fighting games that will be separate from its standard training mode.<\/p>\n

A newcomer mode won’t be the only thing that makes Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game<\/em> accessible as it will only cost $29.99. The $49.99 Deluxe Edition will net you a Year 1 Pass for more characters, a digital artbook, and a digital soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game<\/em> will launch with a roster of 12 characters. The original series gets most of the roster’s representation as only Korra and Zaheer from The Legend of Korra<\/em> appear in the game. Here are all the playable fighters:<\/p>\n
