Featuring hand-drawn 2D animation true to the series’ roots, proprietary rollback netcode, and full cross-play for smooth, competitive gameplay.
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is a fighter rooted in the spirit of elemental mastery. Designed for both newcomers and veterans, it channels the energy of classic fighting games while breaking new ground in movement, style, and combat expression. Built with a focus on fluidity, responsiveness, and online integrity, the game invites players to discover what it truly means to fight with purpose.
Featuring an original, canon Story Mode and an emphasis on fluidity, responsiveness and online integrity, the game delivers an experience that is immediately accessible yet deeply rewarding for those who strive for mastery.
Hand-drawn in 2D, it is crafted to preserve the style and expressive animation of the original series.
Players can pre-order their digital copy directly from the Microsoft Store and PlayStation Store, while Steam players can pre-purchase the game.
Players who pre-order will receive access to the closed beta running from July 2-5, gold color variants for Aang, Korra, Zuko, Katara, Toph and Sokka, as well as the Samurai Appa support character skin. Players who purchase or pre-order the Deluxe Edition will also receive a digital art book, music soundtrack, unique HUDs and the Year 1 Pass, which includes Bolin, Ty Lee, Lin Beifong, Uncle Iroh and an additional character to be decided through a limited-time community vote.
The limited-time community vote will be open exclusively to fans who pre-order Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game. Beginning in late summer, eligible players will be able to vote between five fan-favorite potential characters to join the roster: Amon, Kuriva, Bumi, Asami or Tenzin. More information on each character can be found below:
- Amon - The calm and mysterious leader of the Equalists, Amon disrupts the balance of Republic City by stripping benders of their abilities.
- Kuvira - Driven by a need for absolute control, Kuvira is a disciplined metalbender who unites a fractured Earth Kingdom into a powerful, militarized empire.
- Bumi - Longtime fan-favorite King Bumi of Omashu masks his tactical brilliance and unparalleled earthbending mastery beneath a wildly eccentric and unpredictable personality.
- Asami - Utilizing her brilliant engineering mind and cutting-edge technology, Asami Sato proves herself as a formidable non-bending fighter and a highly dependable ally to Korra’s Team Avatar.
- Tenzin - As Korra's wise but heavily pressured mentor, Tenzin bears the immense weight of his father Aang’s legacy while dedicating himself to preserving and rebuilding the Air Nation.
The physical edition arrives later this year alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 version, with both Standard and Deluxe Editions available for collectors and fans.
