Saber Interactive is making a ‘AAA RPG’ based on Avatar: The Last Airbender

Paramount simply introduced that it is going forward with a brand new online game based mostly on Avatar: The Final Airbender, which shall be developed by Saber Interactive. For the uninitiated, Saber is Snowrunner and Teardown. It additionally has loads of expertise making licensed content material, because it printed Evil Useless: The Recreation and World Warfare Z: Aftermath, amongst others.

A brand new recreation within the Avatar-verse isn’t that notable by itself. In any case, there have been a lot already. Paramount is already crowing in regards to the title, although, calling it a “AAA RPG” and claiming it’ll be the “greatest online game in franchise historical past.” That’s not precisely a excessive bar, given the cartoon’s . There was that one good Bayonetta-like recreation , however the whole lot else is just about trash.

This upcoming RPG gained’t comply with Aang or Korra. Gamers will management “an all-new, never-before-seen Avatar.” The sport’s set “hundreds of years” earlier than the occasions of Avatar: The Final Airbender and The Legend of Korra. The story has been “developed in shut collaboration with Avatar Studios”, although we don’t know if franchise creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are concerned in any manner.

This seems to be an motion RPG and never a turn-based affair, as a press launch suggests “dynamic fight” and a quest to “grasp all 4 parts.” Nonetheless, there’s no launch date and no suggestion as to how far alongside the sport is. Paramount says it’ll be obtainable “quickly”, however the firm hasn’t launched a trailer and even art work, so one individual’s “quickly” is one other individual’s “most likely someday in 2026.”

In any occasion, signal me up. I’m a big-time cabbage head, or honorary member of the Aang Gang or no matter followers are known as. Saber Interactive has confirmed itself worthy with different pre-existing IPs, so why not this one? It may work.

The Avatar franchise has been comparatively quiet recently, although the live-action Netflix present was to complete up the story. Franchise creators DiMartino and Konietzko are making an animated movie that follows an grownup Aang and associates, however it’s been awhile since .
