Exclusive: Avatar Aang era console RPG and world of Avatar MMORPG video games in development
I have some huge news for you today: an ATLA console RPG and an Avatar MMORPG are in development at undisclosed game studios in collaboration with Paramount’s Avatar Studios.
Not just that, but these are just two games of at least four in development, including a Square Enix mobile game announced last year, and at least one other game; and at least one of all of these games will feature the original ATLA characters recast with new Asian and Indigenous voice actors– “voice matches” of the originals. (Just to be clear, this is for voice acting in video games, not live-action acting in the Netflix show.)
These have been in development in secret for a pretty long time now, and they’re coming… much sooner than you think, that’s all I can say. For the first one, “RPG” is a vague descriptor; it could end up overlapping with other similar action-adventure genres to varying extents– I don’t have details on gameplay or anything like that. I’m guessing this could be where the ATLA characters could show up since based on the info I have, voice casting took place at about the right time in development– but again, it could be in any of the video games. For the MMORPG, I don’t know what platform it’ll be on or if it’ll be related to the console game.
One last thing is I can more-or-less confirm that the reason there was no Avatar Studios movie/show info at the Paramount event this week is because it was indeed just too early. But… I think it was literally just as bit too early, that’s all I’ll say for now!
