The game is being developed by with Vancouver-based studio Navigator Games and is soft launching in Canada, Denmark, South Africa, and Sweden for Android and iOS. It will expand to other territories over the following months.
The game is defined as a “RPG adventure” and it includes “fan-favorite characters” across the Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise.
The first chapter includes Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Suki, Zuko, Appa, and Momo as they embark into a quest to fulfill Aang’s destiny.
Future content will explore Avatar Kyoshi, Korra, Roku and more across the Four Nations.
The gameplay focuses on squad-based battles and Square Enix claims it includes deep character progression and party customization systems as players recruit new heroes (via gacha, no doubt) and level them up.
The open world includes beloved locations, stories, and events, alongside new stories that expands the Avatar universe.

If you’re unfamiliar with Navigator Games, they have previously worked on Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast.
Our partners at Square Enix London Mobile have been hugely supportive in these efforts, and we’re working closely with our community during this soft launch period to make the best version of the game possible.”
