Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game for Xbox Series delayed to September 3

Publisher and developer Gameplay Group, and publisher PM Studios have delayed the Xbox Series version of Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game to September 3 due to “unforeseen circumstances on a backend feature.” The PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC (Steam) versions will launch on July 23 as planned, followed by a Switch 2 version later in 2026.

Here is the full message from Gameplay Group on the last-minute delay:

The official launch of Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is almost here, and we can’t wait for players and fans around the world to jump in and start playing.

As we approach launch, we want to update our community on a few platform-specific details.

For Nintendo Switch players, the Nintendo Switch version will be available as the standard edition only. Additionally, cross-play with other platforms and language localization beyond English will not be available. We are committed to bringing these features, along with upgrading to Deluxe Edition, to players as soon as possible and will keep you updated on our timeline and progress.

For the Xbox community, we are forced to delay the release. Due to unforeseen circumstances on a backend feature, we will now launch by September 3. Existing pre-orders will remain active and will not be canceled.

Our priority is delivering the best possible experience on every platform and we are working tirelessly to make that happen. Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support. We’re excited to get everyone into the fight as soon as possible. Tune in here for updates as we have them.
