The Xbox version of Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game has been delayed and will no longer launch alongside the other versions of the game. According to the development team, unforeseen circumstances involving a backend feature have pushed the Xbox release to September 3. This recent update was posted over on the official Avatar Fighters Instagram account.
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, crossplay 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 of a backend feature, we will now launch by Sept. 3. Existing pre-orders will remain active and will not be cancelled.
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.
Those who have already pre-ordered the Xbox version will not need to take any action, as all existing pre-orders will remain active and will not be canceled. The team did not provide any additional details regarding the backend issue but stated that it is working to deliver the best possible experience across every platform.
Nintendo Switch players will still be able to jump into the game at launch, although that version will only be available as the Standard Edition. Crossplay with other platforms and language localization beyond English will also be unavailable on Switch at launch, with the team promising to add those features and a Deluxe Edition upgrade at a later date.
