Paramount Game Studios and Saber Interactive have announced that the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender will receive a AAA action RPG based in the Avatar Legends universe.
Not many details about this project have surfaced, as it’s still in early development, but it’s described as “the biggest video game in franchise history.” It is also being planned for PC and consoles and made in “close collaboration” with Avatar Studios.
Fans can anticipate a new, never-before-seen Avatar within a narrative that occurred thousands of years ago. Further, new and familiar characters will be present. The gameplay will feature dynamic combat alongside companions and mastering the four elements.
Doug Rosen, SVP, Games and Emerging Media at Paramount said the following:
“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.
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 first-hand.”
Josh Austin, Head of IP Development & Licensing, Saber Interactive, said the following:
“At Saber, we are all truly fans of the IP we work with. 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.”
