The first major update for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game has arrived, bringing with it new content, including the pre-order bonuses, as well as some much-needed fixes and quality of life boosts. Despite facing some stiff competition at the start of August, Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game has already become a hit with players thanks to its hand-drawn animation and visual style, which mirrors the classic animated show.
In fact, reviews have been positive for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game as well, with many outlets and critics agreeing that, in addition to the look of the game, the actual gameplay feels responsive and fluid. While it may have a tougher learning curve than other games in the genre currently, Avatar Legends has plenty of depth with its characters and how they each feel unique from one another. Take for example, Zaheer, who breaks the game’s typical 1v1 rules by allowing him to use his support characters as assists like he’s in a tag fighting game. However, the launch of Avatar Legends appears to be just the start of the journey, with the game’s first update arriving with new content.
The first update for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game may not be as big as many fans were expecting, especially with the patch notes highlighting a general “range of smaller bug fixes and improvements across the board” instead of breaking down each change. However, the update does confirm that PC users on Steam can now remap the controls on their keyboard, providing a bit more freedom for those who prefer that input method over a controller or fight stick.
In addition, the Samurai Appa pre-order bonus for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game has finally arrived as well, giving players another cosmetic option for the sky bison support character for Aang. In addition, Steam users also have access to the Deluxe Edition character color variants for Aang, Korra, Zuko, Katara, Toph, and Sokka.
