The Avatar Universe is so vast and iverse across so much time that there's endless possibilities. Especially considering where Azula left off we could get an RDR2 style game that leaves it up to player whether she gets redeemed or not. That way no ending for her is canon and everyone can stick to their favorite interpretation of her. Also I'd love a story driven game set in the ASOIAF universe.
ATLA game would be dream come true for so many! It has got so much potential for a great open world RPG with wonderful story and compelling characters. I vision switching between elements in combat kinda like switching between stances in Ghost of Tsushima
I think you're heavily overestimating the creative possibilities that a fighting game can provide, IPs like ATLA are largely defined by their worlds as much as their characters, something which cannot be done justice via soulless stages in a fighting game. Not to mention the fact that the barrier of entry for any fighting games is extremely high because fighting game players are sweatier than even FPS players, any new player who wants to pick up a fighting game because they like the characters will get their excitement juggled out of them in the first few games. Also, if you want to tell a story, a fighting game's gotta be one of the worst options to do it in my opinion. To tackle these big worlds and characters, you gotta go open world RPG.
Oh yeah an RPG is definitely the best option if you want to tell a story. But that's not what I'm talking about. While so many people would love that (me included), I explicitly mention an avatar fighting game because I personally think that would be awesome, and with me so many other people probably would too. Story and world are a large part of ATLA, but the elements are perfect for a fighting game as well. So why not both?
It did exist; Avatar Legend of the Arena was a great game back in the day, but died eventually. I hear a fighting game is coming out next year, but who knows how good it will be. Guess we will see.
do you play any live-service games?
TF2 was only good "live-service" game.

Hopefully one day!

Didn't know that! Hope the game next year is good. I need it to be lol
Incredibly good take
Thanks!
Man I would LOVE a great ATLA game, something story based that plays like youd imagine it would. Maybe thats too much to ask for though :(
I agree! The guy, Elca, that's making the Four Seasons game in Dreams
IT LOOKS SO GOOD
Cool video, but you lost me the moment you said "fighting game". Sorry, not a fan!
That's fair, not everyone's cup of tea!
