Big news out of EVO! Gameplay Group International and Paramount Games Studio, in collaboration with Avatar Studios, have officially dropped the announcement fans have been waiting for: global pre-orders for AVATAR LEGENDS™: The Fighting Game are now officially live!

If you have ever wanted to settle the ultimate “who would win” debate between a master airbender and a high-tier firebender using frame data and rollback netcode, your time has come.

Whether you play on console or PC, the gates to the Four Nations are officially open for early entry:

• PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S: Digital copies are available for pre-order right now directly on the PlayStation®Store and Microsoft Store.
• PC Players: You can secure your pre-purchase immediately on Steam.

What to Expect: Expressive Bending Meets Competitive Footsies

Avatar Legends™: The Fighting Game isn’t just a casual cash-in; it’s a beautifully realised, fast-paced 1v1 2D anime fighter. Boasting over 900 frames of gorgeous, hand-drawn animation per character, the game perfectly honours the aesthetic roots of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.

Built for both casual fans and hardened EVO veterans, it features a star-studded 12-character launch roster, unique support-character mechanics (yes, you can call in Appa or Momo for an assist), a brand-new canon story mode, and—crucially for the fighting game community—proprietary rollback netcode with full cross-play support at launch.

Pre-Order Bonuses: Gold Skins and Early Beta Access

Securing your copy early doesn’t just show your hype—it grants some massive elemental perks:

• Closed Beta Access: Pre-ordering guarantees your ticket into the upcoming Closed Beta, running from July 2nd to July 5th.
• Exclusive Cosmetics: Unlock striking gold colour variants for Aang, Korra, Zuko, Katara, Toph, and Sokka.
• The Ultimate Support Skin: Snag the exclusive Samurai Appa support character skin.

Go Deluxe for the Year 1 Pass & Community Vote: Players who opt for the Digital Deluxe Edition will receive a digital artbook, the official soundtrack, unique HUDs, and the Year 1 Pass. The pass includes Bolin, Ty Lee, Lin Beifong, and Uncle Iroh.

Better yet, Deluxe pre-orders grant exclusive access to a Community Vote later this summer to choose the final Year 1 DLC character from a powerhouse shortlist: Amon, Kuvira, King Bumi, Asami, or Tenzin.

Release Dates and Pricing

Mark your calendars because the hype train moves fast. AVATAR LEGENDS™: The Fighting Game officially launches digitally on July 23, 2026, for $29.99 / £24.99 (Standard Edition).

For the collectors out there, a physical edition published by PM Studios is slated to arrive later this year, alongside a highly anticipated Nintendo Switch release.

Head over to your platform’s storefront, lock in your pre-order, and prepare to master the elements!
