The world of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” is expanding with a new fighting video game and animated YouTube series, it was announced at New York Comic Con on Sunday.
The beloved Nickelodeon animated series celebrated its 20th anniversary at New York Comic Con with a panel that featured original cast members Zach Tyler Eisen (Aang), Jack De Sena (Sokka), Michaela Jill Murphy (Toph), Dante Basco (Zuko), Mae Whitman (Katara), co-creator Bryan Konietzko and moderator Janet Varney (Korra).
A one-on-one fighting video game was revealed at the panel, under the working title of “Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game.” The lineup of characters includes Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Azula, Toph and Korra hand drawn in 2D animation. The fighting shows Aang using his airbending, while also entering the Avatar State for some powerful moves; Zuko firebending and donning his Blue Spirit mask and swords; Korra using all four elements and also using the Avatar State; and much more elemental fighting. It will release on consoles in the summer of 2026.
A chibi-style, 2D animated series of short videos also debuted, which will be available to watch on YouTube. The shorts will reimagine classic scenes from the original “Avatar” series, the comics and offer original stories. One of the videos adorably parodies the premiere episode with Katar and Sokka discovering Aang and battling Zuko and the Fire Nation.
Next up from the “Avatar” universe is a sequel series, titled “Avatar: Seven Havens,” that follows the Avatar after Korra. There’s also the feature film, “The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender,” set for theatrical release on Oct. 9, 2026.
