Saber Interactive, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, is working on a massive action-RPG set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
The AAA Challenge was fully unveiled by IGN on October 3, 2024. While the Final Airbender franchise, including Korra, has spawned numerous video games thus far, this particular title marks a significant departure, boasting a broader scope and substantial financial backing to rival industry giants. With the success of Saber’s House Marine 2 and comparable IP-based victories akin to World Battle Z and Evil Useless, we’re confident in our approach.
The sport is currently undergoing early development for PC and console platforms; meanwhile, it has been announced that the new installment will introduce a standalone narrative set within the franchise’s existing lore. According to a recent IGN article, the upcoming game will transport gamers into an entirely new, unprecedented Avatar, set thousands of years in the past. Paramount Sport Studios and Saber Interactive are generating anticipation with a compelling preview: “Dive into a richly detailed world, master four distinct abilities, engage in intense combat alongside allies, and face the dilemmas that come with safeguarding balance on a pivotal planet.”
As a key component of Avatar Studios’ efforts to expand the realm of The Last Airbender, this announcement marks a significant step in revitalizing the franchise’s connection with fans worldwide. The entertainment company was founded in 2021 by the original creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, following their departure from Netflix’s live-action series adaptation. The first of a planned trilogy of carefully crafted animated features is set to premiere in theaters on January 30, 2026.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the esteemed teams at Avatar Studios and Paramount Games to further expand the Avatar Legends universe into interactive experiences.” This distinctive co-fund construction is a results of our ever-expanding collaboration with Paramount, which began over a decade in the past with WWZ, and we’re excited for all that’s on the horizon,” mentioned Josh Austin, Head of IP Growth & Licensing, Saber Interactive.
As House Marine 2 exceeds expectations in terms of box office numbers, it’s now poised for an injection of additional support following its release, with the first step already underway – a significant update. As development on the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake remains stagnant, Saber Interactive shifts its focus towards an upcoming release of Jurassic Park: Survival.
