Scheduled date published by Xbox Wire

A single undated platform list hides the staggered launch. This page records the initial availability and the later Xbox date separately so “released” never describes a version that is still scheduled.

02 / Base game

What the launch build includes

  • 12playable launch fighters
  • 10immediately selectable
  • 2story unlock variations
  • 36support choices across the roster
  • 8stages announced before launch

The hidden Avatar Aang and Nightmare Korra slots are part of the base 12, not post-launch DLC. Use the roster filter to separate immediate and story-unlock characters.

03 / Ways to play

Published game modes and systems

Official storefront and publisher descriptions position the game as a 1v1 fighter with Story, Arcade, local versus, online play, training features, combo trials, and gallery or progression content. The core battle layer includes Flow, Energy Points, and one of three character-specific support choices.

New-player route: use the systems primer before relying on launch-week tier labels. A clear movement and resource plan matters more than a static letter grade while the game is new.
04 / Post-launch

Announced content after launch

A five-character Year 1 Pass names Iroh, Ty Lee, Lin Beifong, and Bolin, with its final slot decided by a community vote. Tagah is separately announced as free DLC later in 2026. Exact dates remain unfilled where the checked sources do not provide them.
