Platinum Games developer JP Kellams has revealed the PC release date for the studio’s animated TV show adaptation The Legend of Korra.
The third-person brawler, written by TV series writer Tim Hedrick, will be out on October 21 for PC, with console versions coming a day later.
The Legend of Korra is a follow-up series to the very popular Avatar: The Last Airbender, and contains the same mix of elemental magic, Eastern influences and martial arts combat. Players control the titular Korra, an Avatar who uses the powers of fire, earth, water and air to beat bad people up. I might be simplifying the story and themes a little there. It’s meant to be very good.
As the studio behind Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Platinum Games have a rather decent pedigree when it comes to action games, so fans of the show should be in good hands.
”Often when you look at Platinum’s games, the action is very smooth, very flashy and very cool,” Activision’s producer Robert Conkey told Polygon recently. ”Basically any time they’ve done action, there’s a specific Platinum style, which people are really appreciative of. That’s what we were hoping to bring to the table.”
