While the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series has spawned a number of console games in its time, this is a first for the female-led Legend of Korra, which begins is third season this Friday. Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising studio Platinum Games will be developing The Legend of Korra for Nickelodeon. Following a story written by long time Avatar staff writer Tim Hedrick, gamers will play as Korra, using “the Avatar’s fire, earth, air, and water elements in combat to fight familiar enemies such as Mecha Tanks and Chi Blockers, as well as other Benders in the 3-on-3 Pro-Bending arena.”
The game will take place in between the second and third seasons of the show, so I’d say: expect a lot of spirits. The game will be available to download on PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3 this fall. Beyond that, Korra fans can also look ahead to an upcoming 3Ds title adapted from the series, featuring turn-based tactical, rather than real-time combat-based game play. (via IGN)
