We can finally answer the question of who wins in a fight between the first Aang and the first Korra. Avatar Legends: The Fighting Gamewhich is a working title, was announced at New York Comic Con and already has a release date for summer 2026. The developer, Gameplay Group International, revealed a trailer with “pre-alpha footage” that looks like Street fighter but with our favorite characters from the Avatar franchise.
According to the Steam page, the game will feature 12 characters at launch and introduce more on a seasonal basis. Although the gameplay still looks like a sketch, the developer has already detailed a unique combat system, which includes a “flow system” and support characters allowing special moves. Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game will also have “the energy of classic fighting games” and was designed with a focus on “smoothness, responsiveness and online integrity”. In addition to combo trials and a gallery mode, the game will feature cross-play and will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam.
For those who are not passionate about fighting games, the upcoming release will also feature original content via its single-player campaign. Alternatively, you can wait for Paramount’s “AAA RPG” based on the cartoon with no concrete release date. As for Avatar Legends: The Fighting GameThere’s a lot of promise here with the franchise’s character diversity and the developer’s experience with other fighting games. At the very least, it’s not the same developer who gave us the very forgettable Avatar: The Last Airbender – Quest for Balance game.
