SAN FRANCISCO--Nex, maker of Nex Playground, the active play system that gets families moving together, today launched Avatar: The Last Airbender Earth Rumble, an immersive motion-based action game that brings the fantasy of earthbending to life. Built exclusively for Nex Playground, the game transforms players’ real-world movements into powerful earthbending techniques, inspired by the iconic Earth Rumble tournament from the acclaimed animated TV series “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”
For the first time, longtime fans, alongside a new generation of players, can step into the role of a young earthbender competing in the legendary Earth Rumble Tournament, a secret underground competition from the TV series. Through movement-based gameplay, players will experience an immersive blend of fantasy, action and martial arts elements through Nex Playground’s controller-free gameplay.
“Avatar: The Last Airbender has inspired generations of fans with its rich world and unforgettable characters,” said David Lee, CEO and Co-Founder of Nex. “With Earth Rumble, we’re bringing the act of earthbending to life in a way fans have always imagined, using their own body to train, move, and react the same way Toph did. Motion gameplay makes that experience feel real, turning something people have only watched into something they can actually do together.”
Under the guidance of Toph, the legendary “Blind Bandit,” players face a lineup of formidable opponents, including The Boulder, Hippo, The Gecko, and Gopher. As players advance, they’ll sharpen their earthbending skills and strategy to defeat increasingly challenging opponents and try to become the next Earth Rumble Champion.
Key gameplay elements include:
- Earthbending Training: Players learn signature earthbending techniques from Toph. Stomp to launch earth into the air, strike to send rocks flying, raise their arms to create stone spires, and jump, duck and dodge to evade flying boulders
- Gameplay Modes: Players choose from several gameplay modes, including Story Mode to rise through the ranks of Earth Rumble with the help of Toph, Rematch Mode to rematch any of the contenders in a harder mode with objectives to unlock costumes, and Training Modes to practice their earthbending skills before hitting the arena.
- Progression Capabilities: As players progress, they forge their own Earth Rumble persona, unlocking new costumes, including masks featuring deep cuts from the show, from the likes of Appa and Momo.
Coinciding with the launch, Nex Playground is offering one of its lowest prices of the year during Amazon Gaming Week at $239.00 (20% off MSRP), a $60 savings on the current price ($299). The limited time promotion runs through May 4, 2026.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Earth Rumble is the first of many future element-bending experiences planned for Nex Playground. Players can join the tournament exclusively on Nex Playground through Play Pass, Nex Playground’s content subscription. Play Pass is sold separately and can be added at any time.
