by Rainier on July 21, 2026 @ 3:07 p.m. PDT

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is a fast-paced 1v1 fighter where you battle as your favorite characters from the Avatar franchise!

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.

Paramount Games revealed the final three characters rounding out Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game's 12-character roster: Ozai, Avatar Aang and Nightmare Korra.

More Info on the New Roster Additions:

  • Zaheer — Neither chains nor gravity can hold Zaheer down. A Red Lotus anarchist, he fights for a world with no rulers, no borders and no Avatar
  • Ozai — Self-crowned Phoenix King, Ozai rules through fear and fire. To him, compassion is nothing but a weakness, and the world is little more than tinder to set ablaze.
  • Avatar Aang — Even bearing the heavy weight of bridging the physical and spirit worlds, Avatar Aang is a playful monk at his core. When Avatar State is ignited, Aang is able to unleash the power of every Avatar before him, making him an unstoppable force.
  • Nightmare Korra — Guilt and pain define Nightmare Korra, who is haunted by her own reflection. She embodies the Avatar’s darkest hour, serving as a dangerous manifestation of deep trauma.
