Overview
- Gameplay Group and PM Studios, which revealed the Year 1 plan Saturday, opened digital pre‑orders that grant closed beta access from July 2–5 and include gold character color variants plus a Samurai Appa skin.
- The Year 1 Pass will add four confirmed fighters — Uncle Iroh, Ty Lee, Lin Beifong and Bolin — with a fifth slot to be decided by a late‑summer community vote restricted to pre‑order customers.
- Eligible vote candidates are Amon, Kuvira, Bumi, Asami and Tenzin and the poll window will run only for players who pre‑order, concentrating influence among early buyers.
- The Standard Edition is priced at $29.99 and the Deluxe Edition at $49.99, with the Deluxe bundling the Year 1 Pass, a digital art book, soundtrack and unique HUDs to guarantee access to the announced DLC roster.
- The game launches July 23 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) with cross‑play and rollback netcode, a 12‑character base roster, hand‑drawn 2D art and modes aimed at both casual and competitive players.
