A new AAA action RPG set in the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe has been announced, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest video game in the franchise’s history. The game, developed by Saber Interactive in collaboration with Paramount Game Studios and Avatar Studios, was revealed recently.
While details remain limited, it’s confirmed that the game will be released on PC and consoles, though no official title, release date, or list of specific platforms has been shared. The game will explore the “Avatar Legends” universe, which takes place thousands of years before the events of the original series, featuring a completely new Avatar.
In this new RPG, players will experience both familiar and fresh story elements. The game will allow players to control the newest Avatar, who must maintain balance in the world. It will feature gameplay that focuses on mastering all four elements—water, earth, fire, and air—while engaging in dynamic combat with companions.
Players will be presented with difficult choices that test their ability to uphold balance, creating an immersive and engaging experience in a vibrant world inspired by the original Nickelodeon series.
This game will be produced under Avatar Studios, the production company established by the original creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender in 2021. It represents a significant leap forward in the franchise’s gaming history.
Although the game is not the first based on the Avatar universe, it follows Quest for Balance, a game released in 2023 that was poorly received, earning a “mostly negative” score on Steam. Fans are hoping that this new title will do justice to the world and characters of Avatar in a way that Quest for Balance failed to.
Saber Interactive, the studio behind this new project, has a strong track record in developing games based on established intellectual properties. Known for creating Space Marine 2 among other titles, the studio’s involvement has raised hopes that this Avatar RPG could succeed where previous games in the franchise have not.
While it’s not yet clear what specific role Saber will play in the development, their reputation for creating action-packed games provides optimism for the title’s potential.
While the game’s lack of specific details leaves much to the imagination, fans are eagerly awaiting more information. With Avatar Studios overseeing the project, the game has the potential to offer an expansive and immersive experience that captures the essence of the beloved show.
Whether it will meet the high expectations of fans and live up to the claim of being the biggest game in Avatar history remains to be seen, but the involvement of skilled developers like Saber Interactive has certainly raised anticipation.
