The world of bending is officially stepping into the fighting game arena. A brand-new Avatar: The Last Airbender fighting game has been announced, and it’s already generating massive hype. Titled “Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game” (working title), the game aims to bring the show’s elemental battles to life with hand-drawn animation and competitive mechanics.
Hand-Drawn Battles and Elemental Combat
The upcoming title will feature 2D hand-drawn animation, staying true to the show’s original art style. Each move will reflect elemental bending, Water, Earth, Fire, and Air, with fluid fight scenes designed to match the series’ iconic choreography.
At launch, the roster will include 12 playable fighters, along with support characters that can be paired to change fighting styles and add unique special moves. The game will also introduce a “Flow System”, focusing on movement and tactical positioning to set it apart from typical 2D fighters.
Modes, Platforms, and Release Window
Players can expect a single-player story campaign, combo trials, and a gallery mode. The game will also support cross-play and feature strong online netcode for a smooth competitive experience.
The fighting game is set to launch in summer 2026. The game will be available across PC (Steam), PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2.
