Platinum Games Announces "The Legend of Korra" Video Game

The entertainment news website IGN UK is reporting the very exciting Nickelodeon News in the following article that Platinum Games is developing a brand-new video game based on Nickelodeon's popular original fantasy steampunk-themed animated series (Nicktoon) "The Legend of Korra"!

The "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" and "Bayonetta 2" studio and Activision will launch "The Legend of Korra", a downloadable third-person combat game, during Fall/Autumn 2014 on PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.

You can watch Platinum Games and Activision's trailer for their upcoming "The Legend of Korra" video game in the online streaming video clip below.

"Legend of Korra" writer Tim Hedrick is writing the story, which takes place between "The Legend of Korra"'s second and third seasons (Book Two: Spirits and Book Three: Change). As the series' leading lady, players will use the Avatar's fire, earth, air, and water elements in combat to fight familiar enemies such as Mecha Tanks and Chi Blockers, as well as other Benders in the 3-on-3 Pro-Bending arena.

A Webfoot Technologies-developed turn-based strategy version of "The Legend of Korra" will also be released on Nintendo 3DS this year. Where Platinum's action game is all about fast-paced martial-art combat, the 3DS game will "focus on tactically maneuvering Korra and her allies on the battlefield."

Further news and information about Platinum's "The Legend of Korra" game is expected to be released later this week, along with IGN's hands-on review of the game.

"The Legend of Korra: Book Three" debuts on Nick USA on Friday 27th June 2014 at 7:00pm (ET/PT). TLoK fans can catch up on what happened in Book One and Book Two here on Nick.com.
