The Avatar fighting game will release on July 2 for PC and consoles

Avatar Legends launches with 12 characters, rollback netcode, and crossplay to unify players in a polished fighting game from Gameplay Group International.

  • Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game launches July 2, 2026, on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch, developed by The Gameplay Group.
  • Following the franchise's 20-year milestone, this release attempts to move past a troubled history where licensed Avatar titles, as recently as 2023, were budget games that failed to utilize the universe's potential.
  • Avatar Legends features a 12-person roster including Aang, Korra, and Zaheer; The Gameplay Group confirmed the title will support online crossplay and rollback netcode for competitive play.
  • Competition remains intense, with other licensed fighting games like Invincible VS launching next month, as developers hope this release breaks the franchise's so-called "bad-game curse."
  • Five additional fighters will arrive via post-launch updates, while fans anticipate further expansion including the animated Aang feature film in October and the 2027 release of Avatar: Seven Havens.
