Closed Beta: How to Get Access
Gameplay Group International and PM Studios have confirmed a Closed Beta running from July 2 to 5, available to players who pre-order the game on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation, with crossplay support included.
This is the clearest opportunity yet for fans to get hands-on before launch. You can secure beta access simply by pre-ordering Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game through the relevant storefront for your platform.
What the Pre-Order Gets You
Beyond beta access, pre-ordering comes with a solid bundle of bonus content. Players receive gold colour variants for Aang, Korra, Zuko, Katara, Toph, and Sokka, plus the Samurai Appa support character skin. Pre-order players also gain access to a limited-time community vote to decide which fan-favourite character joins the Year 1 Pass roster.
Standard vs Deluxe Edition
Pricing varies by region. On Steam, the Standard Edition is listed at around ₹1,300, while the Digital Deluxe Edition sits at around ₹2,000. For players in the US, pricing falls in the $29.99 to $39.99 range depending on edition.
Players who purchase the Deluxe Edition receive a digital art book, music soundtrack, unique HUDs, and the full Year 1 Pass, which includes Bolin, Ty Lee, Lin Beifong, Uncle Iroh, and one additional character determined by the community vote.
| Edition | Key Inclusions |
| Standard | Base game + pre-order bonuses |
| Deluxe | Base game + Digital Art Book + Soundtrack + Unique HUDs + Year 1 Pass |
Year 1 Pass Characters
The confirmed Year 1 Pass lineup consists of Iroh, Ty Lee, Lin Beifong, and Bolin, with Iroh kicking off the DLC schedule. The first two characters come from Avatar: The Last Airbender, while Lin Beifong and Bolin arrive from The Legend of Korra.
The fifth and final Year 1 Pass slot goes to whoever wins the community vote, which opens in late summer exclusively for pre-order holders. The five candidates are Amon, Kuvira, King Bumi, Asami Sato, and Tenzin.
| Character | Background |
| Amon | Leader of the Equalists; strips benders of their abilities |
| Kuvira | Disciplined metalbender; unifier of the Earth Kingdom |
| King Bumi | Eccentric earthbending master and longtime fan-favourite |
| Asami Sato | Non-bender who fights with engineering and technology |
| Tenzin | Aang’s son and Korra’s airbending mentor |
What the Base Game Offers
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game features 12 playable characters at launch, brought to life through hand-drawn 2D animation faithful to both series. Game modes span Offline and Online Versus, Story, Arcade, Training, Spectator, and an Art Gallery showcasing never-before-seen original artwork from the show.
Story Mode lets players shape the fate of time and space across a main narrative, while Arcade Mode delivers unique storylines for every playable character. Online play runs on rollback netcode with full crossplay, covering ranked and casual matches, lobbies, replays, and spectator support. A robust Training Mode also provides advanced tools including hitboxes, frame data, and save states for players looking to sharpen their skills.
Why the Delay Happened
The developers stated they wanted to take extra time to deliver the best possible experience at launch, and confirmed the delay also comes with brand new content that was not originally planned. No specific breakdown of that content has been shared yet, however the combination of additional polish and unannounced material suggests this goes beyond a standard delay.
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game arrives on July 23, 2026. The Closed Beta runs July 2 to 5 for pre-order holders on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
