Will Moore, CEO of Navigator Games, said that Avatar: Generations It will appeal to fans of the original series and RPGs, even if some of them have never played traditional RPGs.
“With a globally beloved brand at this level, we have strived to create a game that expands on the rich and storied universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender in a way that feels authentic and exciting to fans of the series and RPGs alike. At the same time, we’ve made sure the game remains accessible to anyone who doesn’t play traditional RPGs,” says Moore in a press release. “Our partners at Square Enix London Mobile have been very supportive of these efforts, and we’re working closely with our community during this soft launch period to make the best version of the game possible.”

However, Aang and his friends are gaining prominence on the gaming scene by making appearances in other games, including SMITE and the recently released Nickelodeon All Star Brawl.
It is expected that Avatar: Generations will officially launch later this year.
