The Legend of Korra – New Screenshots & Game Mode Revealed

Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra animated TV series, a spin-off of the Avatar cartoon series, is popular with kids and adults alike (myself being one of those man-children), so many were quite happy to learn that uber-publisher Activision and Bayonetta makers Platinum Games were joining forces to make a fighting game set in this rich world.

As well as the game featuring a new third-person singleplayer story set between seasons 2 and 3 of the show, in a fresh batch of screenshots released today, Activision has revealed a new unique gameplay mode based on the series’ prominent sport, the fast-paced competitive action of Pro-Bending. In Pro-Bending two teams of three players each use the elemental ‘bending’ forces (fire, earth and water) to undertake a tug-of-war to seize territory and push one another off a floating battlefield. This new separate game can be unlocked after completing the singleplayer Story Mode for the first time.

The Legend of Korra is available digitally via PSN for Sony’s PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, the Xbox Games Store on Xbox One and Xbox 360, and for Windows PC via Steam this October 22nd.
