Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game has received its first major post-launch update, introducing long-awaited pre-order content, new customization options, and several quality-of-life improvements. While the patch is relatively small, it marks the beginning of the game’s post-release support following a successful launch on PC and PlayStation 5.
The update also addresses some early player requests, including keyboard control remapping for Steam users, while the developers continue working on updates for the Nintendo Switch and Xbox versions.
July 29, 2026 Update Highlights
The first major patch focuses on adding previously announced content alongside general stability improvements.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Samurai Appa skin | Pre-order support-character cosmetic |
| Keyboard remapping | Available for Steam players |
| Deluxe Edition colors | Added for eligible Steam users |
| Bug fixes | General gameplay and stability improvements |
Although the patch notes don’t provide a detailed list of fixes, the developers confirmed that numerous small improvements have been made throughout the game.
Samurai Appa Pre-Order Bonus Arrives
Players who pre-ordered Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game can now access the Samurai Appa support-character skin.
The cosmetic gives Aang’s flying companion a new appearance without affecting gameplay, providing an additional customization option for players who secured the game before launch.
Keyboard Remapping Comes to Steam
One of the most requested quality-of-life features has now been added for PC players.
Steam users can fully remap their keyboard controls, making it easier to customize inputs for personal preference or alternative control layouts.
The feature benefits players who prefer keyboard controls over a controller or arcade fight stick.
Deluxe Edition Color Variants
Steam owners of the Deluxe Edition now have access to the exclusive character color variants included with that version of the game.
The update unlocks alternate colors for:
- Aang
- Korra
- Zuko
- Katara
- Toph
- Sokka
These cosmetic options expand the available character customization without changing gameplay.
General Bug Fixes and Improvements
Alongside the new content, the update includes a collection of smaller fixes intended to improve the overall experience.
While the studio did not publish a complete changelog, it confirmed the patch contains:
- General bug fixes
- Stability improvements
- Quality-of-life enhancements
- Minor gameplay refinements
Additional balance changes were not mentioned in the update notes.
Nintendo Switch and Xbox Versions Still Await Updates
The developers also provided a brief status update for platforms that remain behind the PC and PlayStation 5 versions.
According to the studio, the Nintendo Switch update is arriving later than originally planned. Missing features, including cross-play support and Deluxe Edition content, are expected to be added in a future patch.
The Xbox version is still delayed while the team continues working with Microsoft to resolve a remaining issue preventing launch. No release window has been announced.
Season 1 Content Is Already Planned
Although the first update is relatively modest, the developers have already outlined their plans for future content.
During EVO 2026, the full Season 1 DLC lineup was revealed, featuring several fan-favorite characters.
Confirmed DLC fighters include:
- Bolin
- Chief Lin Beifong
- Uncle Iroh
- Ty Lee
The final Season 1 character will be selected through a community vote between:
- Amon
- King Bumi
- Asami Sato
- Kuvira
- Tenzin
In addition, the developers confirmed that Tagah, a character introduced in the Avatar Aang feature film, will be added as a free playable fighter later this fall.
