Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game’s Final Roster Is Bigger Than You Think

by

Okay, so we finally know everyone who’s playable in Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game! They’ve revealed the full roster, and it’s a pretty cool mix of characters from both Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. There are all the heroes you’d expect, a few awesome villains, and even one character I barely remember! It’s a 12-person roster, which feels a little small at first. But apparently, the way the game works lets you play as even more characters than that, which is a really neat idea!

The first trailer for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game revealed the base game will cost $29.99. A Deluxe Edition is available for $49.99 and includes the full game, a digital artbook, the complete soundtrack, and a Year 1 pass for extra downloadable characters. Following successful playtests around the world, this affordable price point should make the game accessible to a wide range of players.

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game Has Revealed Its Launch Roster & Release Date

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game features a diverse range of bending styles among its twelve playable characters, who are all fan favorites from the series. The game is scheduled to launch on July 2, 2026, and will have a focused roster, potentially making it more affordable. Players will be able to choose from the following fighters:

  • Avatar Aang
  • Avatar Korra
  • Katara
  • Toph
  • Sokka
  • Azula
  • Zuko
  • Avatar Kyoshi
  • Zaheer
  • Fire Lord Ozai
  • Avatar State Aang
  • Avatar State Korra

Now that all the initial characters – including alternate versions of Aang and Korra – have been shown, players are still excited for more familiar faces to join the game. Good news: the game’s first season pass will add five new characters after launch. This will bring the total number of playable characters to 17, offering even more variety and depth to the combat.

The characters in Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game are brought to life with beautifully detailed, hand-drawn 2D animation – each movement is crafted from hundreds of individual drawings. This level of artistry doesn’t just capture the look of the original Avatar shows, it also builds on the fighting styles we’ve seen before. Special features like Zuko’s ability to change paths and Azula’s powerful, risky stance add a lot of strategic options, though this detail might mean it takes longer to add new characters to the game.

When Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game launches in July 2026, all characters will be immediately available to play in various game modes. Beyond the open beta, the full game will feature story and arcade modes, offering unique experiences for each character. Players can hone their skills with a dedicated offline training mode, and enjoy smooth online matches thanks to rollback netcode and crossplay functionality, allowing players on different platforms to compete against each other.

Support Characters Add Even Greater Depth To This Fighting Game’s List Of Series References

Those who have played Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game know the game isn’t just about the 12 main characters. Each fighter also has three support characters they can choose from before a match. These allies change how a fighter plays, adding new abilities and effects. For instance, Toph can team up with a Hippo wrestler to enhance her stone pillar attack, making it better for longer combo chains.

The game’s support system lets a lot of non-fighter characters appear during battles, adding fun cameos without making them full playable fighters. For example, Zuko can team up with Mai, and Korra can summon Naga or her father, Tonraq. These character connections give players a reason to pick their favorites, considering both their fondness for the characters and the unique abilities they bring to the fight.

Now that all the fighters have been announced, we know there will be 36 support characters in the game as well. Currently, we only have details on the support characters featured in the beta tests, and Suki’s role as support for Sokka. But by looking at the original animated series, we can guess who else might be included. For example, Azula could team up with Ty Lee, and Zaheer might fight alongside other members of the Red Lotus, like P’Li and Ming-Hua.

While we might see new supporting characters appear when Aang and Korra enter the Avatar State in the game, that remains to be seen until its release. However, Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is designed to be a celebration of the series’ many popular characters, giving dedicated fans plenty of opportunities to discover hidden references and surprise appearances.
