‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Video Game Announced
Action-RPG from Paramount Game Studios and Saber Interactive expands the “Avatar Legends” universe with a new story set thousands of years ago.
In collaboration with Avatar Studios, Paramount Game Studios and Saber Interactive have announced the development of a new AAA video game set in the world of “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” The upcoming action-RPG will be based in the “Avatar Legends” universe and is designed for PC and console platforms. The game will feature a new story and introduce players to a new Avatar set thousands of years ago, expanding the franchise originally launched with Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “The Legend of Korra.”
The game will let players master all four elements, engage in dynamic combat with companions and navigate the challenges of being the keeper of balance in the world. Developed with Avatar Studios, the title will immerse fans in the franchise’s familiar and unexplored aspects.
“We know loyal fans of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ have been eager for more stories that bring them into the universe of the show, and through gaming, we’re able to expand the world-building and allow fans to experience the new content in a completely immersive way,” says Doug Rosen, senior vice president, games and emerging media, Paramount. “Saber Interactive has a proven track record in bringing IP-based games to life, and we are excited to co-fund this AAA title alongside them and let fans experience this world firsthand.”
“At Saber, we are all truly fans of the IP we work with,” says Josh Austin, head, IP development and licensing, Saber Interactive. “Our team members are some of the most devoted, passionate creatives out there and it’s an honor to join forces with Avatar Studios and Paramount Games to further expand the ‘Avatar Legends’ universe in video games. This unique co-fund structure is a result of our ever-expanding collaboration with Paramount, which started over a decade ago with WWZ, and we’re excited for all that’s on the horizon.”
This announcement follows the success of several titles from Paramount Game Studios and Saber Interactive, including “Shredder’s Revenge,” “Star Trek Fleet Command” and “Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2.” The new “Avatar Legends” game is expected to build on the companies’ long-term strategic partnership, which has also led to the development of “A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead,” set for release later this month.
