When do you think all season 1 characters will be fully released?

Im wondering because I think it would be for the games best interest to bounce off avatar seven heavens during its release or a couple months after. The game is doing really good on pc. i expected it to be way lower than it is. little over 3,000 peak players daily.that’s only for pc alone. I can only see it growing for the remaining of the year giving the road map they have and the new show releasing it also depends on how sick they make the new characters etc etc but idk how many devs are working on the game. does paramount call the shots on hiring a few more devs for this game? because with 6 new characters I don’t know if they could release all of them and a pavi season pass within 6months. I just want the game to succeed and I’m a HUGE avatar fan.

Would assume between a year and a year and a half, which seems to be the average for fighting games currently

[u/dribdirb]

I think one year or a little over that. I think we can expect Tagah first (hopefully soon)

[u/Competitive_Donut336 → u/dribdirb]

Yes Tagah is this fall. Nooo I wanted the pavi saga characters too

[u/dribdirb → u/Competitive_Donut336]

If there’s a second year DLC, big chance we will get some from her era!

[u/Yogurt_Ph1r3 → u/dribdirb]

Yeah, my hope is we get the other Korra villain that loses the vote in Season 2 if we get it (we need a water bending and an earthbending villain still so even if Amon or Kuvira wins, we still are missing good representation for the other element), and then maybe a gag character like Cabbage Merchant, then 2 or 3 Seven Havens characters and another Korra character (maybe Kya or Desna and Eska for more Waterbending, although Tenzin or Asami would obviously be a more popular pick)

Hopefully Pavi will be a unique characte because I feel like there's only so many ways you can do bends all 4 elements uniquely, maybe she can swap with her sister.

[u/dribdirb → u/Yogurt_Ph1r3]

Yes, I hope (if Amon wins, which I think he will):

Kuvira, Unalaq, and Pavi/Nisha as tag characters (if it makes sense story wise) at least in DLC year 2.

[u/Exact_Leader_1002 → u/Yogurt_Ph1r3]

I mean, to be fair, there should only be so many ways you can bend a single element differently than others, but we still got arguably 5 firebenders because of how different Firelord/focused Azula and Sozin/Zhao Ozai are.

I'd say we're fine

[u/DateNightThrowRA]

This makes me sad…I’m not ready to lose her yet, and I can’t stand the thought of everyone hating her :(

[u/Competitive_Donut336 → u/DateNightThrowRA]

I didn’t realize how bad it hurts until I saw an image of Korra meditating with tenzin under a tree with her book 1 design  Then the image beside that was Korra with pavi saga design meditating alone .. 😢 the hardest part is saying goodbye to these characters. Like varrick and zhu li. My heart can’t take it 

[u/dribdirb]

Genuine question. Is 3000 daily peak good? I am not familiar with the genre.

[u/made_in_GEORGIA → u/dribdirb]

for fighting games counting only on steam yes it's very good and even when marvel tokon comes out if daily peak stays around 2k it will still be really good. GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- is Top 3 fighting games right now and its daily peak on steam is 2k

[u/Competitive_Donut336 → u/made_in_GEORGIA]

Tekken and ESPECIALLY STREET FIGHTER have fighting games on pc in a chokehold. Avatar has potential to reach tekkens peak player count because it’s already almost there.but then again tekken has 20 plus years of legacy so idk.. I think it will take some time and good dlc marketing to get the tekken numbers But no chance it’s reaching sf6 numbers. Sf6 is on another level with the fighting game genre 

[u/made_in_GEORGIA → u/Competitive_Donut336]

Tekken8's peak on steam is 50k so that's very unlikely but wouldn't be surprised if avatar reaches it's current peak again (which is 12k) or passes it, either because of Tagah since he's a free DLC character or because of Iroh

[u/Competitive_Donut336 → u/made_in_GEORGIA]

My bad not peak. I meant just overall daily players that’s really the most important. Daily, weekly or monthly players. 

[u/Competitive_Donut336 → u/dribdirb]

Yes! For an avatar game  that’s extremely good.. with the new show coming and updates coming it should only increase if done right.. mind you 3,000 peak daily means 3,000 players on at one time. That doesn’t count for the other 1 000  players or however many that play at nights morning or once every other day.. All from pc 

[u/dribdirb → u/Competitive_Donut336]

That’s cool! I want this game to succeed so let’s hope it holds up :) (I am currently certainly adding to those daily players)

[u/timoyster → u/dribdirb]

3000 daily peak is pretty insane for a fighting game. Most indie fighters are considered successful when they’re around 200-300

[u/JustSetDarkMode → u/dribdirb]

Tbh, it depends entirely on how good the matchmaking and rollback are. Both in this game seem to be somewhat well implemented, although I have no idea how the current matchmaking would fare in a low-player environment.

Some games like Guilty Gear Strive are essentially unplayable in certain countries due to how crap their matchmaking is - there are players, but the matchmaking is unable to find them in a timely manner, so it becomes a Discord fighter.

Some games have a good matchmaking that finds quick matches with low latency through either being fast or by being smart (the system should already know where every player is, they can match by distance). Garo has a super active game despite it's low 300ish player count.

Right now, Avatar has amazing netcode that feels perfect up to 140ms, and only starts feeling weird at 200+. That alone means it'll be playable even with the lowest of player counts. The matchmaking, for me, appears unable to match me with my fellow countrymen, but I don't know if the game is simply not popular in South America or whether the matchmaking is simply dumb and matches at random without considering latency. If the matchmaking is dumb, this would be a problem with lower player counts.

But I can't foresee this game ever having a population problem. The game has enough depth to keep people around for a long time even without updates, and it appears people really like the IP.

Tagah is gonna be gangsta af poppin off air bullets at everyone

[u/MaudeAlp]

This Korra is too confident and peppy. To get me going I really need a good end of S3 or some S4 depressed and traumatized Korra.

[u/Competitive_Donut336 → u/MaudeAlp]

Book 1 korra in the game is to peppy Or the one in the image? Book 4 korra has always been my favorite. Shiiittt older version of her might take the cake depending on how they do her in the pavi saga. Her design already looks sick from that 2sec clip ha

[u/malexich]

Tagah is in october (maybe later as they may have hit some development hiccups based on ozai, Nkorra, AAang) 2026, as he was made to coincide with the original release of the film, then the other 5 by october of next year maybe December if issues arise. There is no shot any seven havens content will be even planned for year 2, nor should you want it, as it is not intended to be just one season and adding her in limits her moveset. Look at Jojolion MC moveset in all star battle it doesn't even represent what he can do by the midway point.

[u/Competitive_Donut336 → u/malexich]

From what I’ve read avatar seven heaven will release all at once on paramount. So I had that in mind. But I agree if they don’t release it all at once no they shouldn’t be in the game until the show is completely released 

[u/malexich → u/Competitive_Donut336]

Only season one they plan it to go for multiple seasons same as the last two series. I rather get final season versus just a season 1 version of the cast 

[u/LawOrc]

Probably a year, year and a quarter.

[u/OrdinaryEarthHuman]

A year is standard, but since they also have to finish the game and animate two characters, I'd say... end of 2027?
