Epic Games has seen a huge amount of success since the release of their Battle Royale Fortnite and much of this success can be c credited to the game’s constantly changing landscape and the very successful collaborations the company has undertaken with fan-favorite companies such as Marvel and even with popular animated TV series such as Rick and Morty and of course who could forget the FortnitexFamily Guy crossover.
So it comes as no surprise that the game is adding yet another beloved property to its already impressive resume in the form of one of Nickelodeon’s most popular franchises Avatar: The Last Airbender and fans are seriously excited about one addition to the game.
What has fans so excited about the newest addition to Fortnite
The addition that has garnered the most attention from fans over the game is the addition of a new glider, which brings a lot of the show’s fans’ biggest dreams to life. The dream in question is the player’s own Appa which they can use to traverse the skies of the map as if they were the Avatar.
This new addition has sent fans of both the game and the show into a flurry on social media with many fans expressing their excitement on X with some users posting a clip of the new glider in action within the game. With one fan expressing their love for the character.

Another fan has already deemed the new item as one of the best gliders in the game high praise indeed:
One of the best gliders in the game now

Whilst another called the glider a “Huge W”:
Okay. This looks better than I thought it would look. Huge W!

while another expressed gratitude to the game designers saying they got it right by not making Aang hang below Appa:
Glad they got it right by riding on top

Woulda been pissed if it was hang glide like Cerberus motorcycle
It looks like Epic Games has hit gold with the new addition
It looks as if this new addition to Fortnite is a resounding success with so much love and positive support for the glider. Epic Games have struck gold with this one and it is not hard to see why, Appa is one of the most adored animals in animated television and fans are going to be overjoyed with the ability to play with him, not to mention the resurgence in popularity for the character with the new live-action show on Netflix.
The model for the glider is incredibly detailed as is the style of this game with the glider having an amazing look and feel while your character surfs its back which some fans have expressed a little disappointment over because in the show Aang always sat on Appas’s back but this is a minor issue fans are overwhelmingly positive to finally getting their wish of owning their own Appa. The glider is surprisingly easy to earn all it takes is completing some in-game quests and collecting 6 books
What do you think about this new addition, let us know in the comments how excited you are to become the avatar we would love to hear your opinions.
