Saber Interactive and Paramount Game Studios, in collaboration with Avatar Studios, have announced that a AAA action RPG based on the Avatar universe is currently in development for PC and consoles. The action RPG will be based in the world established by The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra but will have a brand new story set thousands of years in the past. It will also feature a “never-before-seen Avatar”.
The game’s details:
Created for PC and consoles, the action-RPG title will follow a brand-new story, developed in close collaboration with Avatar Studios, which drops players into the world of the franchise where they can take on the role of an all-new, never-before-seen Avatar. Set thousands of years in the past, players can expect to be immersed in a vibrant world, master all four elements, engage in dynamic combat alongside companions, and experience the challenges and decisions that come with being the keeper of balance in the world. The game will include both familiar and new elements from the franchise, offering fans an opportunity to deeply connect to the world and become the hero of this unexplored era.
Paramount senior vice president of games and emerging media Doug Rosen commented on the announcement in a press release, saying:
“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 [intellectual property]-based games to life, and we are excited to co-fund this AAA title alongside them and let fans experience this world first-hand.”
Saber Interactive head of intellectual property development and licensing Josh Austin added:
“At Saber, we are all truly fans of the [intellectual property] 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 [World War Z], and we’re excited for all that’s on the horizon.”
