Paramount Game Studios and Saber Interactive announced an all-new AAA RPG game set in the Universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender, now in development.
Yesterday, Oct 3rd, 2024, it was announced on IGN that a new Avatar game is currently in development at Saber Interactive in partnership with Paramount Game Studios.
This is exciting news for Avatar fans, as the fanbase has been horribly underserved regarding video games. We did get Avatar: The Last Airbender – Quest for Balance back in September of 2023, but as our review said, that game was a disservice to fans of the beloved franchise.
The upcoming game is said to be a new experience set thousands of years before the series, and players will be taking on the role of a new Avatar. They will “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.”
In the press release, Josh Austin, Head of IP development and Licensing at Saber Interactive, says, “At Saber, we are all truly fans of the IP 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.”
Saber Interactive recently shipped Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, which has an 82 on Metacritic and is being highly praised by fans. Hopefully, this is a sign that fans can expect a good Avatar game that merits the now mostly adult and mature fan base instead of crappy shovelware games for kids.

Okay, while this trailer looks hilarious… This pack doesn’t look worth the purchase. Like, do we really need another adventure camping pack? No. Would I love to play a Survivor/Love Island Sims-spinned back? Yes. Will I download it? Nope…
The two new songs are “No Place Like Home” and “The Girl in the Bubble.” The soundtrack from the original Broadway track already has a massive hold on me… But this… This is going to have me in a puddle of tears. Wicked: For Good. In theaters November 21, 2025.
You had me at Jack Black and Paul Rudd bringing back the big snake from the 90s. The trailer dropped, and it’s great. I like big snakes and I cannot lie. Paul Rudd and Jack Black star in #AnacondaMovie – exclusively in theatres Christmas.
One of Redford‘s often over-looked gems has an insanely talented cast, Ben Kingsley, Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, James Earl Jones, Dan Aykroyd, David Strathairn, Mary McDonnell. It’s a brilliant spy/heist film that’s light and breezy. RIP Robert…you legend.
