When Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game was first announced back in October, I used to be genuinely excited since the Avatar franchise has been long overdue for a correct fighting game. In the course of the Evo Awards 2026, Gameplay Group International confirmed that the sport launches on July 2, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, and PC via Steam. It’s value noting that the previously announced PlayStation 4 version appears to now not be within the plans.
The brand new trailer also revealed three more characters for the roster: Zaheer, Fire Lord Ozai, and Avatar Kyoshi. They join the previously confirmed Aang, Korra, Zuko, Katara, Toph, Sokka, and Azula, bringing the known roster to 10 out of 12 launch characters. We got our first have a look at gameplay for Azula and Sokka, though Zaheer, Ozai, and Kyoshi only appeared in a splash screen. That also leaves two fighters unannounced, so there’s room for a pair more surprises before launch.
By way of pricing, the Standard Edition is available in at $29.99 and includes all 12 launch characters, a story mode, arcade mode, training mode, combo trials, character lessons, gallery mode, and online play with ranked, casual, and lobby support. The Deluxe Edition is $49.99 and adds the soundtrack, a digital art book, unique HUDs, and a Yr 1 Pass with five additional characters and further character colours. Preorders are continue to exist Steam, with PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store wishlisting also available. Those that preorder will get a Samurai Appa support character skin and exclusive character colours.
The sport features hand-drawn 2D animation with over 900 frames per fighter, proprietary rollback netcode, and full cross-play. Each character can select one among three support characters to influence their fighting style and grant special moves, which should add some nice depth to how each fighter plays.
