Avatar: The Last Airbender is the latest franchise to collaborate with ever popular battle royale Fortnite as content based on the beloved animated series arrives in store today, April 9.
Revealed in a post on X/Twitter, below, a handful of main characters from the show will be available in the Fortnite Shop, but interestingly not the last airbender himself. Fortnite leaker Shiina suggested Aang will be included as part of an Event Pass later instead of being immediately purchasable.
In the meantime, however, fans can buy skins of water bender Katara, earth bender Toph, and fire bender Zuko, with the trio joining the titular character from Avatar: The Legend of Korra, who arrived on April 2.
Publisher Epic Games is yet to share what the skin packs for these new characters include, as only a short trailer was released alongside the announcement post. It recreates the scene from the opening of Avatar: The Last Airbender, as Katara approaches an iceberg containing Aang and his flying bison Appa before it and the trailer explode into snippets of fighting from the three new characters.
Collaborations like this are now part of the norm for Fortnite, which has also seen crossovers with Alan Wake, Eminem, Family Guy, LEGO, Metal Gear Solid, Lady Gaga, and so much more — and that's all in the last six months.
Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He'll talk about The Witcher all day.
