Nickelodeon and Activision combined forces to launch The Legend of Korra a single-player, third-person action video game based on Nickelodeon’s fan-favorite, animated series. Developed by PlatinumGames, this original title is out today worldwide as a digital release on the PC.
Bryan Konietzko, Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra co-creator/executive producer, said:
“All of the hardcore gamers on the Korra crew jumped when they heard Activision had lined up PlatinumGames to develop the video game, and Mike and I are incredibly pleased with how it faithfully and affectionately captures the look and spirit of the Avatar-verse and its characters. On top of that achievement, it’s a ton of fun to play and we can’t wait for the fans to experience Korra in a whole new way.”
Mike DiMartino, co-creator/executive producer, Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra, added:
“I couldn’t be more pleased with how great the Korra video game looks. Both the cut scenes and all the amazing environments and gameplay by PlatinumGames look true to the show and the world.”
Yaacov Barselah, Vice President of Games & Digital Publishing New Business, Nickelodeon, concluded:
“Only PlatinumGames, with their unrivaled flair for fiery action and fluid motion, could truly capture the unique power of the Avatar in playable form,” said n. “It’s been a thrill teaming with our long-time partner, Activision, to create a Legend of Korra game worthy of her character.”
Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra follows Korra, a passionate young woman and the reincarnation of the Avatar, a supreme being granted mastery over the four elements of nature: fire, earth, air and water.
The game’s story, crafted by series staff writer Tim Hedrick in association with co-creators and executive producers Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino, bridges Books Two and Three of the series and features gorgeous cel-shaded artwork, animated story sequences and voice talent from the show’s cast.
True to PlatinumGames’ legacy, The Legend of Korra is a fast-paced brawler focused on combo-heavy martial arts combat with exceptional style.
“Each of Korra’s elemental abilities packs a unique punch, brought to life with brilliant color and detail. The title also features high-speed running levels with Korra’s trusted polar bear dog companion, Naga, and the franchise’s in-universe arena sport, Pro-Bending, in which teams of three use the elements to compete for battlefield territory.”
