In addition to a sweeping novel series featuring multiple Avatars throughout the series' history, there's also a live-action Netflix adaptation that just shipped its second season, and a full sequel film featuring Aang and Team Avatar was recently released on Paramount+. Then there's Avatar: Seven Havens, which just wrapped its inaugural season and takes place 225 years after The Legend of Korra, the original Avatar sequel series. With Seven Havensrenewed, it's looking good for fans of the series. Sadly, not everything lasts forever, and that includes some elements of the Avatar franchise. One project in particular is ending in December. After three years in operation, developer Bamtang Games and publisher GameMill Entertainment have announced that Avatar: The Last Airbender - Quest for Balance will be removed from sale due to licensing agreements. The announcement came directly through the game's Steam page: "Hi everyone, we wanted to inform you that Avatar: The Last Airbender - Quest for Balance is soon to be leaving Steam at the end of December 2026 as our licensing agreement for the title has concluded. If you already own the game, there’s no need to worry, it will remain in your library and will continue to be fully playable. Thank you for your continued support! GameMill Entertainment" Originally released in 2023, Quest for Balance is a puzzle-based game involving multiple characters from the Avatar universe, set to the tune of 18 chapters and one-to-two-player action. "Team Avatar is back! Relive the epic adventure of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series, as you play as Aang and his 8 friends to explore the most unique locations from the series, solve challenging puzzles and experience the most heart touching moments of Aang’s story. Explore the World of Avatar and travel across the four nations through a 1-2 player co-op 18 chapter adventure. Play as 9 iconic characters including Aang, Toph, Sokka, and Katara. Unlock the Mysteries and navigate challenging puzzles using bending and the unique abilities of water, earth, fire and air; upgrade your abilities throughout the story to unleash the full potential of Avatar! Reviews are decidedly "mostly negative" according to Steam, in case you're wondering what you're missing. Users report it takes roughly 10 hours to clear the game. Image via Paramount+ Avatar: Seven Havens is truly the future of the franchise right now, given the strong reception and renewal. Book One dropped on October 9 of this year, and it's already been a resounding success. Paramount ordered three more seasons, potentially telling a full story and ending with season four. It's a massive win for Avatar fans everywhere, despite the complete erasure of Quest for Balance. If you really want to get in on this oddball piece of Avatar history, however, Quest for Balance is available to download and keep before that December cutoff.
