The game covers both animated series \u2014 <em>Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em> and <em>The Legend of Korra<\/em> \u2014 and its <strong>12-character launch roster<\/strong> reflects that: Aang, Korra, Zuko, Katara, Toph, Sokka, Azula, Zaheer, Fire Lord Ozai, Kyoshi, Avatar State Aang, and Avatar State Korra.<\/p>\n<p>Visually, the team went for hand-drawn 2D animation faithful to the source material rather than a 3D fighter approach, and on the technical side there is proprietary <strong>rollback netcode<\/strong> and full <strong>cross-play<\/strong> across platforms \u2014 both non-negotiables for a game looking to build a serious online scene.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/avatar-legends-ss1.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game gameplay screenshot showing character combat\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Gameplay Group International \/ PM Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Pricing, Platforms, and the Pre-Order Beta<\/h2>\n<p>On <strong>July 23<\/strong>, the game launches on <strong>PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam)<\/strong> at <strong>USD$29.99<\/strong>.

The USD$29.99 entry price translates to a reasonably accessible buy-in at the Singapore PlayStation Store (expect regional pricing to apply \u2014 check the SG PS Store or Steam listing for the local price before purchase). The game supports cross-play, so whether you are on PS5 or PC, you will be matched into the same online pool.<\/p>\n<p>Avatar fans in Singapore have been waiting a long time for a proper competitive fighter from this universe, and from what the trailer shows, Gameplay Group International clearly understands both the franchise and the genre.
