Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game Roster: Every Confirmed Fighter and Release Date

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game brings the benders, warriors, and villains of the Avatar universe into a single 2D fighter for the first time. Developer Gameplay Group International built the roster around fast, hand drawn combat and a rollback netcode system that keeps matches smooth across platforms. Here is every confirmed fighter, the release date, and what you get with each edition.

Avatar Legends The Fighting Game roster

Launch roster: 12 confirmed fighters

The game launches with 12 playable characters pulled from both Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. The lineup mixes protagonists, villains, and two separate Avatar State versions.

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

Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko carry movesets built around their techniques from the original series, tuned for competitive balance rather than raw show accuracy. Azula and Fire Lord Ozai add aggressive firebending options on the villain side, while Zaheer brings a distinct airbending style from The Legend of Korra.

Avatar State Aang and Avatar State Korra stand out because they are not power up variants. Each one runs a separate moveset and gameplay identity, so players choose between the base Avatar or the Avatar State version depending on playstyle.

Combat styles across the roster

Every fighter leans into a different combat identity instead of repeating the same tools with new skins. The roster splits across airbending, waterbending, earthbending, firebending, weapon based combat, and Avatar State fighters. Sokka fights without bending at all, relying on weapons and precision attacks that play nothing like the elemental cast. Azula, Ozai, and Zaheer push aggressive offense and mobility, while Toph and Katara lean into defensive, technical play.

Year 1 Pass: five DLC fighters confirmed

Post launch support adds five more characters through the Year 1 Pass. Four are already locked in, and the fifth comes from a fan vote tied to pre-orders.

Confirmed Year 1 fighters:

  • Iroh
  • Ty Lee
  • Bolin
  • Lin Beifong

Iroh brings a technical, patient firebending style built around his fan favorite status. Ty Lee is the roster’s fastest non-bender, built on acrobatics and chi blocking. Bolin adds earth and lava movement inspired by pro-bending, and Lin rounds out the pass with a metal focused, precision heavy earthbending kit.

The fifth slot goes to a community vote. Candidates include Tenzin, Kuvira, Amon, King Bumi, and Asami Sato. Pre-order customers get access to this vote, and the winner has not been confirmed as a playable fighter yet.
