Paramount Games Studio has delayed Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game on Xbox Series X and S to September 3, just hours before its scheduled July 23 launch across all platforms. The Nintendo Switch version will also launch without crossplay, non-English language support, or the Deluxe Edition, prompting widespread backlash from the Xbox community over the last-minute announcement and vague explanation.
Paramount Games Studio, a new gaming development and publishing entity, emerges from the merger of Skydance's gaming arms with Paramount's vast IP library. Led by Creative Director Amy Hennig, the studio promises exceptional games across all player types, with its first title set to debut at Summer Games Fest. This move cements video games as a 'core pillar' of Paramount Skydance's strategy, leveraging iconic IPs like DC Universe, Star Trek, and more.
