The staying power of Avatar: The Last Airbender cannot be understated. The original show ended in 2008, and yet, here we are in 2024, seeing much of the Airbender cast make their way to Fortnite. Starting tomorrow, April 9, Katara, Toph, and Zuko will be available in the game’s shop.
However, if Katara, Zuko, and Toph are in the shop, how do we get the air-bending Avatar?
According to another tweet by the Fortnite team, that may be event dependent. Another Fortnite event, Avatar: Element, begins on April 12. This will probably be in the form of a mini-pass, like Shredder was in the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event. Also, where that event featured the classic weapons of the TMNT, I’m betting on elemental-based abilities available for pick-up.
As a huge fan of the series, I’m excited to see all of these Avatar events in Fortnite, and I’ve grown quite find of Korra’s water-bending powers in the battle royale. While I’m eager to get my hands on the rest of the announced cast, I’ve gotta ask: Epic — where’s my boy, Sokka, at?
