Gaming News on the New Avatar: The Last Airbender Game
Gaming News Highlights
The cycle of death and rebirth continues in the larger world of the Avatar. Paramount Game Studios and Saber Interactive announced a new AAA title based on the beloved Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra on Monday. Instead of incorporating established characters like Aang and Korra, the action-RPG title will feature a new story, with players assuming the role of a “never-before-seen Avatar.”
The new Avatar game is being developed for Windows PC and consoles. Its story will take place thousands of years in the past in an “unexplored area,” a release said. According to the developers, players can expect to be immersed in a vibrant world, master all four elements, engage in dynamic combat alongside companions, and just generally experience the ups and downs that come with the responsibility of being the Avatar.
Development Team and Collaboration
Paramount Game Studios and Saber Interactive are the development team behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The story for the new Avatar title was created in “close collaboration with Avatar Studios,” a division of Nickelodeon Animation Studio headed by the original franchise creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.
Previous Adaptations and Future Hopes
Fans will have to wait to see how the team pulls this vision off. Adaptations of the beloved Nickelodeon cartoon have been a dime a dozen and not all have been a hit. Whether it’s the floundering movie from M. Night Shyamalan or the divisive Avatar: The Last Airbender - Quest for Balance game, Avatar fans know better than to get their hopes up. However, there are signs of change, such as Netflix’s ongoing live-action TV adaptation being greenlit for a second season and the recent Avatar and Fortnite collab being quite slick.
As we anticipate this new Avatar game, we can remember the wise words of Uncle Iroh: “Destiny is a funny thing. You never know how things are going to work out.”
