It brings a fresh new look for the game’s menus and in-match displays, two totally reimagined fighters, Ranked Mode 2.0, quality-of-life upgrades for story, versus, and online play, plus balance changes for every character on the roster.

Since the game launched earlier this year with 12 characters from “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “The Legend of Korra,” fighters have been putting their bending (or boomerangs) to the test, and our team has been watching closely. This patch is the result. It’s the game we envisioned from the beginning, and now it’s ready for you to play.

What’s in the Avatar State Patch:

- A new look, everywhere. Menus, character select, stage select and the in-match interface have all been redesigned.

- Two reimagined fighters. Avatar Aang and Nightmare Korra return with new art, new attacks and new super moves.

- Every fighter rebalanced. From Aang to Zaheer, every character has been fine-tuned for fairer, more exciting matches.

- More ways to play and learn. Story Mode+, Story difficulty settings, new tutorials and Combo Trials, Story stages in Versus, and more.

One is solemn and imposing while the other is languid and elusive.” Villa explains.

In the Avatar State, Aang taps into the power of every Avatar who came before him. Young points to his final showdown with Fire Lord Ozai as the biggest touchstone, along with Avatar State moments across the series, from channeling Kyoshi on Avatar Day to facing the Sandbenders. While regular Aang is playful, Young describes this version as pure, overwhelming power, landing precise elemental attacks with the smallest movements. Villa adds that he’s the only fighter in the game lit from below, a deliberate choice to make him look mysterious and boss-like. Young’s fav...
