Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game - the fan-decided DLC is coming
In brief
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game arrives on July 23, 2026 with 12 characters, and Gameplay Group International has already confirmed additional content in development. A DLC character will be chosen by community vote, but concrete details (price, date, new arenas) remain unclear for now.
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game comes out on July 23, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series, PC and Switch - and even before players have had time to master the 12 characters of the base roster, Gameplay Group International confirms that additional content is already in the works.
What we know about the upcoming content
Concrete details about the DLC remain scarce at this stage. What's confirmed: at least one additional character is in development, and their identity will be decided by a community vote. No date announced, no confirmed price, no detail on possible new arenas or story missions. It's therefore hard to determine whether this is a simple roster extension or a genuine additional chapter - for now, it looks more like character pass-type content.
Value added vs the base game
The base game is rather modest in size: 12 characters at launch (including two identified as clones), few stages, and a 27-chapter story mode that does the job but doesn't renew itself indefinitely. The fan vote to choose a character is a positive signal about the studio's engagement - but it remains fan service, not a guarantee of substantial content.
Value for money: too early to tell
The base game sells for 30 euros, which clearly positions Avatar Legends in the budget fighter segment. If the DLC follows the same pricing logic, a character priced at 3-5 euros would make sense. But if the pricing gets closer to a Mortal Kombat or a Guilty Gear Strive with season passes at 15-20 euros, the ratio becomes noticeably less appealing for a title with such a thin roster. Worth keeping a close eye on before jumping in.

Frequently asked questions
When will the first DLC with the voted character release?
Gameplay Group International hasn't announced a precise date. The DLC is in development, but remains unclear for now.
How much will the DLC character cost?
No confirmed price. Given that the base game costs 30 euros, a character priced at 3-5 euros would be consistent, but it will all depend on the studio's overall pricing strategy.
Will there be additional content beyond the voted character (arenas, story)?
Nothing confirmed at this stage. The announcements mainly talk about a character pass, so it's hard to know whether we'll also get new arenas or story missions.
How will fans vote for the DLC character?
The voting details haven't been specified yet. Gameplay Group International will likely confirm the process in the weeks following the July 23 launch.
Key takeaways
- At least one DLC character is confirmed and will be decided by fan vote.
- The base game features a modest roster of 12 characters for 30 euros, positioning Avatar Legends as a budget fighter.
- DLC prices remain unknown — crucial for assessing value for money against heavyweights like Mortal Kombat or Guilty Gear Strive.
- The studio's community engagement through this vote is a positive signal, but doesn't guarantee substantial content.
