    It makes me unbelievably upset that they never actually try with games for Avatar. This series has such insane potential and a wildly active fanbase and the best you can do is some shovelware that's genuinely worse than the Gamecube game that came out 17 years ago. It's shameful, honestly.

    If they did a Hogwarts Legacy style game for Avatar that would sell like crazy. You can customize your character and pick your element or even be a nonbender. You could have little companions/pets who can go out and get your items or send them in an area to dig something up or help you out. Hell, make it co-op and you can take on enemies with a friend and if you combine your powers to have devasting combos like a water bender who drenches enemies and then a fire bender can shoot lighnting. You can travel to different areas and meet new characters who can join your party. There are so many opportunities to expand the IP and give the fans something good.

    Anyone remember back in the THQ era of licensed games when most of these games based on cartoons were either episode tie-ins or standalone sidestories? This is another one of these episode tie-in games.
    Keep in mind, games based on cartoons/TV shows are a completely different league compared to games based on Marvel/DC/Harry Potter. Prior to GameMill/Outright, Activision was doing licensed games, until they bowed with Ghostbusters 2016 which was so bad it caused its dev to file for bankruptcy. Then GameMill and Outright arrived and now these games are a trend again and are obviously still hit or miss.

      Hard disagree on those games being in different leagues. The HP games were also pretty shitty, also serving purely as episode tie-in games. Hogwarts Legacy bucked the trend, and will hopefully continue to buck it - we need an Avatar game to do similar. Buck the trend, do something different, be original, and try to be its own game instead of trying to purely cash-in on hype.

I actually got confused when I first heard about it and genuinely asked why. But the games from when the show aired are leaps better, even the first game. And I agree that the Korra game was decent enough and I think the beat ‘em up warriors style of game fits the avatar universe very well.

Im sure NOT holding my breath for something like that, always cheap cash grabs with zero respect for the IP.

    The pieces are there for an absolute banger of an Avatar game, and the Hogwarts: Legacy comparison seems to be a solid starting point.
    Imagine playing as your own character, deciding on and learning a chosen bending style and tribe. Later, the game's threat presents itself and you venture out into the world to stop it.
    Along the way, you meet the current Avatar who is impressed with your skills and offers to train you to face the upcoming threat. Through your intense training, the Avatar discovers an ability which allows them to awaken a second element for you to bend, allowing your character to mix and match bending styles for cool hybrids and combo moves.
    Perhaps this could then lead to an option where you can learn forbidden bending from the antagonist, allowing you to betray the Avatar and join the evil side...

    If games like Sifu, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Hogwarts Legacy, and The Last of Us can exist, (where in there's voice acting, motion capture for everything, from stunts, fighting, having conversations, etc, there's actually people behind the games that love the product, and put the work in hiring great actors, etc), then why can't we as ATLA fans get a proper, big budget, open world ATLA and LOK game respectively? 🤔
    Playing through each game, all 3 seasons of ATLA for that game, and all 4 for Korra, get as many of the voice actors back as possible, (RIP to Uncle Iroh's original voice actor), and tell us the story, while also giving us the I'm between's of the series that we didn't get those see, expand the world we love in, maybe a battle arena, free dlc support, cosmetics we can buy for in game, unlockable outfits as well, great fast paced combat, making us feel like the Avatar, from the iceberg, to the showdown with the Fire Lord, I have so many idea's for a great AAA ATLA game, I only hope we get that one day.🙏😞💯🤞

    I can imagine a high-budget production with stunning graphics that maintain a cartoonish aesthetic. The details on texture.. the specular lighting. The animation is seamless, offering intricate details. When Aang desires to soar, he leaps to great heights or descends from lofty cliffs. The animation captures the sensation of Aang freely falling through the air before deploying his glider. With the airbending boost, players can control the speed and navigate freely. The dynamism is such that even upon touching the ground, there's a sense of readiness to take flight again as Aang keeps running, poised for another jump. Throughout, Aang's voice reflects his emotions, ranging from laughter and cheerfulness to sobs and panic in intense moments. Now, imagine the pinnacle.. the fight animations, fluid and smooth whenever we harness the power of bending. It promises an unparalleled gaming experience.

    If the Avatar series did anything right, they've proven that they don't need Aang to make a good story. The novels were exceptionally good by the way and if anyone is interested but doesnt want to read them, theres a fanmade youtube channel that has turned them into visual novels.
