Yip, yip
Aang and the gang are getting a new video game adaptation, heading straight to phones.Ā Avatar GenerationsĀ is a new free-to-play mobile RPG set to arrive in early 2023 for Android and iPhone, with pre-registration open now.
Based on the Nickelodeon animated seriesĀ Avatar: The Last Airbender,Ā GenerationsĀ retells the journey of Aang and friends across the Four Nations. Battles take place in turn-based squad formation, letting players build their own team to tackle enemies.
Plenty of beloved characters look set to return, too. The obvious suspects, like Aang, Zuko, Toph, Katara, and Sokka, are all here. But so are Suki, Gyatso, Princess Yue, and others from throughĀ The Last Airbender. A new gameplay trailer released today shows them all in action:
While everything in today’s reveal is focused on Aang’s generation,Ā Avatar GenerationsĀ does plan to make that plural true in the future. New content will be added regularly, spanning the lives of other Avatars in the cycle includingĀ The Legend of Korra.

Flame-ee-o, hotman
No release date has been set, but pre-registration is open through theĀ Avatar GenerationsĀ site. While it’s free to play, locking in a registration forĀ Avatar GenerationsĀ now will net you both Avatar Aang and a 5-star Hero Ticket, as well as some other goodies.
As anĀ AvatarĀ fan, part of me is a little apprehensive seeing stars and tickets. Games likeĀ Fire Emblem HeroesĀ have struck a fair balance between gameplay and rolling for characters, while others haven’t handled it quite so well.
That said, I’ve been eager to see a new video game adaptation ofĀ AvatarĀ for a while now.Ā Avatar GenerationsĀ seems like it’s worth giving a shot, and a party-based RPG is a great environment for these characters to thrive in. We’ll see how this new version of Aang and the gang thrives on mobile whenĀ Avatar GenerationsĀ launches in early 2023.
