- Quick Answer: Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game has been delayed on Xbox and will launch without crossplay on Nintendo Switch.
Xbox users will sadly miss out on Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, as the developers have revealed the game has been delayed until September 3, over a month from its launch on PS5 on July 23.
The game itself is fantastic, with amazing system mechanics that make it a unique 1v1 fighter that’s like nothing in the market. The single-player modes are a bit lackluster, but if you want a game to grind with great online and crossplay, then this should be your go-to, especially if you love the Avatar franchise.
Via social media, the official Avatar Legends account explained that, after finding an issue with a backend feature, they were forced to push back the date a few weeks. No information as to what exactly this entails was given.
While it’s true that the majority of fighting game players prefer PC and PlayStation this generation, those who were excited to try it out on Xbox will probably receive the news with massive disappointment, as it was just announced right before the game launched.
The game is also coming to Nintendo Switch, in case you didn’t know. There’s no release timeframe available for Nintendo’s console, but Game Group revealed it will only launch with a Standard Edition when that does happen. The real gut punch is the fact that it will launch with no crossplay, essentially locking the Switch community to play with one another.
