Gameplay Group International and PM Studios released a pre-order trailer for "Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game," a 2D anime-style action fighter [1].

The game bridges two major eras of the franchise by featuring characters from both "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "The Legend of Korra" [2]. This crossover appeals to a broad fanbase and aims to establish a competitive presence in the fighting game community through modern technical standards.

Digital pre-orders are now open for the title, which is scheduled to launch July 23, 2026 [3]. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC [3]. To ensure smooth online competition, the developers integrated rollback netcode and cross-play functionality [4].

Beyond the base roster, the companies announced the Year 1 Pass DLC [1]. This expansion will introduce four additional playable characters: Bolin, Ty Lee, Lin Beifong, and Uncle Iroh [1].

Development of the project involved Gameplay Group International, with some reports noting a collaboration with Paramount [1, 5]. The game's visual style utilizes 2D anime aesthetics to mirror the source material's art direction [2].

The announcement follows a series of reveal trailers, including a specific showcase for the character Azula [6]. The timing of the release aligns with the industry's summer window, positioning the game for visibility during major gaming events [3].

By implementing rollback netcode and cross-play, the developers are targeting the competitive fighting game community (FGC) rather than just casual fans of the IP. The inclusion of characters from both the original series and the sequel suggests a strategy to maximize the reachable audience across different generations of the franchise.
