NEW AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER MOBILE GAME IN DEVELOPMENT BY TILTING POINT, AN GAMES AND PARAMOUNT CONSUMER PRODUCTS
Multiplayer Strategy Game Launching 2024
NEW YORK – August 9, 2023 – Tilting Point, one of the leading global publishers of free-to-play games, and real-time strategy game developer AN Games, under license from Paramount Consumer Products, are developing a multiplayer strategy mobile game focused on Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise. Based on the renowned animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, the strategic mobile game will have players explore the Avatar world, interact with beloved characters and work together with other players to defeat a Barbarian Death Cult that worships an evil spirit set on dominating the world. Launching in 2024, the game’s official title and additional details will be announced in the coming months.
In this multiplayer strategy mobile game, players will take on the role of a leader tasked with building an army and community to restore balance in the Avatar world. Strategy is key as players will need to build cities, manage resources, construct and upgrade buildings, explore the world, and engage in tactical combat to become victorious. With a focus on city building, cooperative gameplay, and exploration, players will work together to expand territories, manage resources, and restore harmony to the Avatar world.
"My kids grew up watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and I was there for every episode," said Kevin Segalla, CEO and Founder of Tilting Point. "We loved it so much that when they got older, the whole family got our first tattoos - each of us with one of the four element symbols that best represented our personalities! Nickelodeon and Paramount Consumer Products created an amazing show, and between Tilting Point and the mobile strategy experts at AN Games, we are super excited to be making a game that will be just as amazing."
This is the latest title from Tilting Point’s world-class portfolio of games, featuring some of the world’s most recognizable licensed IPs. This will be Tilting Point’s third mobile game with Nickelodeon and Paramount Consumer Products after the 2020 award-winning SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off and the recently announced SpongeBob Adventures: In a Jam! which is currently available for pre-registration.
