Korra Skin in Fortnite Stands Out Among Avatar Characters

Despite the excitement around the Fortnite x Avatar The Last Airbender collaboration, Korra's presence feels out of place.
Korra Skin in Fortnite Stands Out Among Avatar Characters

Highlights

  • While the anticipation for the Fortnite x Avatar crossover is high, fans of Legend of Korra have concerns.
  • Korra is the sole representative from The Legend of Korra in Fortnite, whereas four characters from the original Avatar series are included.
  • There is potential for Epic Games to enhance the Fortnite x Avatar collaboration by introducing more characters from The Legend of Korra, including the highly demanded Sokka.

Despite the buzz surrounding Fortnite's team-up with Avatar: The Last Airbender, not all feedback has been positive lately. Nevertheless, the excitement for the imminent Avatar Elements Event launching soon remains strong, even though Korra, from The Legend of Korra, now stands out awkwardly amidst the attention primarily lavished on characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

While Fortnite is no stranger to collaborations with major franchises, this latest event has left some underwhelmed. Priced at 2,000 V-Bucks per character, the Avatar skins in the shop have stirred controversy, especially with Sokka's noticeable absence. Moreover, with Korra being the solitary representative from The Legend of Korra, her presence feels somewhat disjointed.

Fortnite Could Embrace The Legend of Korra Further

Korra's Inclusion in Fortnite Warrants Continued Attention

Despite Korra hailing from the same universe as Aang, her story unfolds 70 years after his in a more modernized world. Although The Legend of Korra didn't achieve the same acclaim as The Last Airbender, leading to its premature conclusion after season four, Korra's journey remains a vital part of the Avatar universe.

Initially welcomed by fans, the Korra-themed challenges in the battle pass were overshadowed when Toph, Zuko, and Katara joined Fortnite shortly after. Aang's imminent arrival during the Avatar Elements Event will tip the scales to 4-1 in favor of characters from The Last Airbender, leaving Korra as the sole flag-bearer for The Legend of Korra and highlighting the sequel's significant underrepresentation in Fortnite.

Fortnite x Avatar Collaboration Holds Vast Potential Beyond the Current Event

If Epic Games were to introduce more characters from Korra's series to bridge this gap, it could enrich the Fortnite x Avatar experience. Given Fortnite's history of successful partnerships, such as with Marvel and Naruto, expanding the Avatar roster with characters like:

  • Sokka
  • Suki
  • Azula
  • Iroh
  • Ty Lee
  • Mai
  • Mako
  • Bolin
  • Asami
  • Amon

Despite speculations about Sokka's exclusion due to his non-bending nature, fans persist in their desire to see him included. Excluding Sokka solely based on his bending abilities seems like a missed opportunity, especially considering Fortnite's extensive character pool. Past collaborations have similarly disappointed fans by neglecting beloved characters, such as Suguru Geto in 2023's Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration.

Hopefully, Fortnite will revisit the Avatar universe with a fresh wave in the future, featuring characters from The Legend of Korra and the long-awaited Sokka skin, which would undoubtedly resonate well with fans. Fans eagerly await any announcements from Epic Games post the Avatar Elements Event.
